Sinclair ZX Spectrum Kempston Joystick Interface
As you know, Sinclair ZX Spectrum doesn't have a joystick port. This is an unpleasant situation for retro gamers. I searched for a joystick interface for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum that I was restored and found Yarek's joystick interface project. I added a reset button to this beautiful project. As seen in the pictures, the pcb is a homebrew and working circuit. Problems that may arise after fabrication are at your own risk.
Have fun....
