What were the arcade sticks made for DOS, if any? A quick websearch doesn't reveal anything from the DOS era.
I was never really a DOS gamer, so I have no recollection of the period correct hardware, and I don't know what brand names to look for.
Specifically, what I'm interested in, are pictures and hardware protocols so I can either test the peripherals with my own code in DOSBox, or implement the emulation layer for modern peripherals in DOSBox. Of course, if I implement any emulation, I can only guarantee it'll work with the specific arcade stick I have.
Ok, maybe I should clarify, even though SDL (which I believe is what DOSBox uses) has interface that abstracts peripherals, I cannot guarantee that any emulation I implement works "correctly" for some value of correctly except with the physical modern arcade stick I have.
