There are adapters that are supposed to allow you to use 15 pin joysticks, but nobody is making or selling them right now.

Yeah there are DB9 to DB15 connectors... but odds are they aren't going to match correctly, as they were intended for a programming port or cga/rgb video. Regrettably, the pinout diagram calls for a resistor though so it might not work with just a rewired cable or screw terminal board anyway.

There appears to be a listing for sale here (Caveat I have not tested it): https://www.reactivemicro.com/product/ibm-15pin-to-apple-9pin-joystick-adapter-v1-1-from-manila-gear/


I eventually paid for a joystick made by a dude in Korea, we'll see how that goes.

Good luck.

Strugglers in the retro game dimension!
