I have a Commodore +4 and I would like to adapt my regular joysticks to
the +4 port the question is which wire goes where?????? Here is a sketchy
display of what the ports look like....

Regular Joystick
+ 4 Joy port
What I want to do is run wires from the joystick to the Joy port on the
+4. The question is what goes where without frying my +4????? Thanks
in advance for any advise.
Thanks,
Thomas

Here is a sketchy :display of what the ports look like.... I did this ages ago, but don't have specifics. Use a meter to locate ground and +5V on the Plus/4's plug (it may not even have +5V). Then just play with ground and the other wires. :-) ... Joe

If you still have the books that came with the plus four, I'm almost certain they would have a proper pinout diagram. They, you just have to match up the lines with a pinout diagram for a c64. Fortunately, such a pinout is included with this post!! 1 2 3 4 5 . . . . . . . . . 6 7 8 9 (this is looking at the computer, NOT the cable) 1 Joya0 2 Joya1 3 Joya2 4 Joya3 5 Potay (paddle) 6 Button a/lp 7 +5v 8 ground 9 potax have fun, and good luck!!
