minus-squareCrashumbc@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoWhile the very first joysticks probably used serial ports. Common joysticks used a separate port that had less pins.
minus-squareAlbbilinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoI had the pin number right, but the port needed to be the other gender, at least for my Gravis gamepad. https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1100/format:webp/1*J8s6MiCEute3lfhVVgYUJw.jpeg
minus-squarescottywh@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoYeah… I had one of those too… Definitely 9 pin serial. What’s pictured in the OP is almost certainly CGA / EGA and not serial though.
