Can I use Keyboard Keypad for Joysticks with 10-Keypad?

[HerrBerzerk]

Topic says is. There are a lot of Console Cores wich had a 10 or more Keypad integrated. Is it possible to combine the Keyboard and a Joystick as input device so that the Keypad from the Keyboard is usable with a "normal" Joystick?

These work via daemonbite adaptors

NTT Snes Pad

Just bought one on ebay. Now, none of the daemonbite adapters are available

I use this one its very well made or available as a kit

Does that triple adapter do atari joysticks etc on the db9? Does it have any kind of paddle support?

It works for Atari Style joysticks, I used my Old Amiga Joysticks, Ones that need 5v for Autofire may not work. Paddles I never tried

Paddles don't work with daemonbyte adapters. I recommend getting a Daptor PDL, it works with DB9 joysticks and Atari or Commodore paddles: http://www.2600-daptor.com/2600-daptor%20PDL.htm

What do they mean by "SNAC Paddle Support"?

From the Daptor Homepage:
02/17/23 - Note: the MiSTer 7800/2600 scaling has not been fine tuned yet. The paddle scaling in then core seems to be under going some tweaking with it's recent addition of SNAC paddle support. When that is done, will then dial in the adapter's scaling and post a firmware update. In the mean time, it should be much better then using the default Stella scalling.

Is there a guide to follow on configuring MiSTer (main and core) for this? I have the adapter, but can't seem to get it going.

I wrote about how to configure the D9 here: viewtopic.php?p=68155#p68155
For the PDL I just renamed the map file with the correct PID for the PDL adapter.

It will not work with all cores, a number of them are expecting the MiSTer Spinner protocol and calling it 'paddle', which is confusing (the VIC-20 core is a recent example). Cores which accept analog thumb sticks as paddle inputs should work.
