Sold outChecked Jul 27, 2026ArcadeR Joystickby Commodore

Provides a microswitch joystick with a classic 9-pin plug and autofire for the Commodore 64 Ultimate.

The direct Commodore listing showed Beige, Black, Transparent Red, and Transparent Clear choices but was out of stock on 2026-07-27. The seller explicitly documents C64 Ultimate use but does not enumerate original C64 or other 9-pin systems, so no broader compatibility is inferred.

Modern VIC-1011-style user-port RS-232 adapter with status lights, reset, and a software-dependent 9600-baud mode.

Tindie marked the adapter out of stock on 2026-07-30 and says it has been sold out since 2026-01-05. A DB25-to-DB9 adapter is an optional passive accessory, not a separate catalog product.

Check statusChecked Jul 30, 2026FireUp V2by MicroMiga

Maps an independent second gamepad button to Up while preserving the controller's normal directional Up input.

MicroMiga listed the family from EUR 8.99 on 2026-07-30. The extracted variation table explicitly marked the short FAT version out of stock but did not expose a reliable stock state for the longer, slim machine-side version, so confirm the desired model before ordering. A controller needs genuinely independent fire buttons; duplicated or cloned fire buttons do not work for the remapping.

AvailableChecked Jul 24, 2026IBM 15-pin to Apple 9-pin Joystick Adapterby Manila Gear

Adapts a PC-style DB-15 analog joystick to the Apple II 9-pin game-port wiring.

ReActiveMicro showed the adapter in stock and backorderable on 2026-07-24. Original Apple II and II Plus computers expose an internal 16-pin game socket, so they need a separately verified 16-pin-to-9-pin connection before this DB-9 adapter can be used.

AvailableChecked Jul 30, 2026Joystick Extension Cable (DB9)by Generic / AutumnHippo

Adds about 1.7 meters of reach between a compatible nine-pin controller and its vintage computer.

AutumnHippo exposed an add-to-cart route at USD 7 on 2026-07-30. Protovision separately showed ten joystick extension cables in stock at EUR 10 with a one- to two-week shipping estimate. The exact long and short products pictured by the C64 OS guide are not identified, so the catalog keeps current length and seller variants together.

Provides a new 1.7-meter nine-conductor lead for repairing compatible vintage joysticks and controllers.

AutumnHippo exposed an add-to-cart route at USD 7 on 2026-07-30. Basic soldering is required. Trace the existing cable or controller circuit before removal: the seller explicitly warns that wire colors can differ and that systems sharing a nine-pin plug do not necessarily share controller wiring.

Open SwiftLink-compatible expansion-port UART design for connecting supported Commodore computers to DB9 RS-232 equipment.

RETRO Innovations does not sell assembled Link232 cartridges. The maker publishes EAGLE schematic and PCB files for builders. A separately mentioned future Turbo232-compatible revision has no documented release and is not part of this record.

Sold outChecked Jul 24, 2026MacEffects bitMOUSEby MacEffects

Lets an Apple IIe use a native DB-9 serial PC mouse with adjustable tracking and accelerator compensation.

The MacEffects page said Sold out on 2026-07-24. It only accepts native DB-9 serial mice: PS/2 conversion, dual-mode mice, and the Apple M0100 are unsupported. It is also incompatible with the BMOW Yellowstone card.

AvailableChecked Jul 30, 2026NES64by Thomas Pryds / AutumnHippo

Replaces the circuit board in an original or reproduction NES controller so it works as a Commodore 64 gamepad.

AutumnHippo exposed an add-to-cart route with a USD 8 base price on 2026-07-30. The page offers a bare PCB, a kit with a reproduction case, and a fully assembled controller, but it does not expose every option price in extracted text. A bare-board build needs a case, a correctly traced cable, a switch or solder bridge, and basic soldering. The maker also states generic Amiga and Atari computer compatibility, but exact model relationships are not attached without model-specific evidence.
