Retro computing question


I find c64 emulators, but i can't find joy in playing games without a Suzo Arcade joystick.


Is there a way to connect a real C64 joystick to an online c64 emulator?


It would be awesome to play the old games like in the old days, without having to worry to damage any hardware... :-D

The joysticks of that time were simply a set of switches ... press right and it connects two pins of the output cable, left and it's another two. (Well, the same first common pin and a different second pin).


Nothing on a modern machine speaks such a basic code :) ... so it'll need a hardware adapter.
