Re: C64 new joystick cables source

Like if you have a db9 connector the other end is just wires use a voltage
meter
set it to OHMS read the resistance on 1pin on the connector and read the
other end (the wire) if it reads resistance you can find each wire, if you
use a meter there's no
guessing at all just a very useful tool. Just takes time learning how to
use it.
