Unijoysticle 2 allows you to use modern Bluetooth gamepads, e.g DualSense gamepad, in retro computers like the Commodore 64, Amiga and AtariST.
It also supports mice (for Amiga / AtariST only).
Basic functionality
One Bluetooth gamepad controls one joystick. You need two gamepads to control the two joysticks.
The mappings are:
- D-pad/joypad: controls up/down/left/right.
- Button A / Cross: fire button
- Button B / Circle: "up" (ideal for platform games).
- Button X / Square: 2nd button (Amiga / AtariST only)
- Button Y / Triangle: 3rd button (Amiga / AtariST only)
- Button shoulder-right: autofire.
- System button swaps between Joystick #1 and #2
Enhanced functionality
When in "Enhanced mode", you control the two joysticks with only one gamepad. The mappings are:
- Left joypad / d-pad: control Joystick #2 movements.
- Right joypad: control Joystick #1 movements.
- Button A / Cross: fire for Joystick #2
- Button B / Circle: fire for Joystick #1
- Button X / Square: 2nd button for Joystick #2
- Button Y / Triangle: 2nd button for Joystick #1
- Button Shoulder Left: auto-fire for Joystick #2
- Button Shoulder Right : auto-fire for Joystick #1
This mode is ideal for games like Commando or 1942 since it allows you throw grenades / roll by pressing Button B.
