As many people, I'd really like to use my old Commodore 64 joystick with THEC64.
However, I'm confused with the large number of USB to DE-9 (often improperly called DB-9) adapters. Many of them are DIY projects, others are commercial products but defunct, and the rest are from small companies; for instance, the USBJoy2.0 and the BlissBox.
Considering that I'm based in Europe, and I want to buy a ready-to-use adapter that works well without too much hassle, which product would you recommend?
Thanks in advance from a C64 aficionado!

Welcome to the biggest disappointment in this whole effort to resurrect our favorite childhood gaming platform. To finally come out with a remake, with a proper keyboard & all...only to include a single joystick that just doesn't come anywhere close to replicating the gameplay that made the C64 great, and provide no reasonable path for using original joysticks, 2 player head2head, or a hardware partner to remake something close... I waited & waited, bought & sold a "Mini", overpaid for a "Maxi", and probably have an hour of playing-time on it in 3 years, with 5x that spent trying to fiddle with solutions that never worked. Had I spent all of this money replacing the original hardware, I'd have scratched the itch & been much happier.
