Thanks!

(i had 1 typo and one wrong key due to a short while meassuring in my first keymap)

We may ask for your help with the testing, when we have a working prototype setup :0)

Here is my go at understanding the hardwareside of reading the Creativision keyboard and joysticks... In the CV the 6821 PIA reads the keyboard and joystick inputs. (it also feeds the soundchip with data and does the tape I/O) During reading: Port B (PB0 - PB7) are put into Input mode (they are thre...

and the same in a ziped Excel format...

Hi Chesh, @username@ and me try to go for a Arduino, USB Keyboard, MT8808 analog switch solution... (i found the MT8808 solution in the Commodore "C=KEY" project..) my arduino will arrive today, the MT8808s will take a few weeks... i guess additional testing is alway welcome :0) Cheers, TOM:0) PS: H...

Hi Chesh,

thanks!

here a picture of the adaptor in action ;0)

Please find attached the mapping of all the 16 directions and the 2 firebuttons of the CV joysticks written in the pinnumbers of the plugs in the console (seen from the front, numbering from left to right) On the left controller Pin 1 to Pin 8 are connected to Pin 9 or/and Pin 10 when a key is press...

This is a schematic for a simple plugin cable to connect standard (Atari-style) Joysticks to the Creativision... The topic has been allready discussed in other posts in this forum, so thanks to all members who participated... The CV Joysticks and Keys often fail and without them you can play no game...

Hi @username@,

I could do a bit of hardware and testing, but i am not very good at programing arduinos (never really done more than blinking an LED)...

If you would like, we could start an extra topic and work together on it?

Hi Chesh, today an idea struck me ;0) why not build a "simple" PS/2 or USB keyboard adapter based on an Atmega chip? Similar projects for other Retrocomputers exist and could be modified (C=Key for the commodore 64, interface for ZX81...) as all the pins are accessible, it could be a simple plug and...
