I'm building a RJ50 to DB15 Game Port cable for my Diamon Edge 3D (NV1) and I cannot find the pinout anywhere. Does anyone have the cable that can use a multimeter to check the pin configuration?

EDIT: Found -- picture for pinout updated.

Joystick interfaces are very simple, there will be supply voltages on some pins and the rest will inputs which are what voltage happens when the pots are moved or buttons are pushed when given the supply voltages. So with it installed and a joystick test program running, you can find the supply voltages with a multimeter, and bridge those to each other pin with a 100 ohm resistor briefly and see which way it twitches in the test prog or which button it indicates was pressed. Then referring to that and the standard joystick pinout you've got your wiring diagram.

Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.

I am raising this post from the dead only because the pinout was found thanks to the kindness of Full that was selling a diamond edge3d over at amibay. He provided me with the following pinout - hopefully anyone that is missing the adapter can recreate it 😀
