So I got myself an actual CX-10 joystick, a lucky break but the cable is messed up and the down and fire don't work.

I order a CX-10 board, adn got sent a CX-40 board instead. I can gt it to work, but the cable channel (a bit of the mold of the case for the base) is forcing me to cut off a bit of the board so it will fit.

No biggie, this is not an original board but an aftermarket one, not rare at all (since the CX-40 is about the most common joystick on this planet) so that's what I'll do, and make it work in the CX-10 shell.

Though the board does say Atari on it, I'm sure if I make an order from some PCB maker I can have Atari put on it, too.

So it's time to break out the box of broken sticks I have and get a good cable for it and I'll have a modded CX-10 (easily reverted back if I ever do find a real board).

Just reporting, thought it was pretty interesting so had to share.
