IMHO Volhout is right. The difficult bit is to find the standard to use. There are so many of them to choose from. :)
This is *exactly* why PZee-control was thought up. There are no standards, every games console has its own and even when they are similar they have different connectors. The only thing approaching a standard is the Atari "5-switch" joystick with it's original, standard wiring. My thoughts were that with our own standard we aren't at the mercy of the games market controller availability. We have the power to define *everything* about it, hardware, firmware & games.
Basically everything except a keyboard or the aforementioned joystick is a dead end at the moment - there are no alternatives. If we want anything more we have to either create it or find a commercial device and hope that it will still be available in the future.
