How did they do it? Well, if you've ever tried hooking up a GamePad Pro or another digital controller - like the original Microsoft Sidewinder, or a big Logitech Wingman - to a USB to gameport adapter, and then looked at it under Game Controllers, you'll have seen buttons 1 and 2 blinking like mad. This isn't a broken controller sending spurious button presses - this is actually how it communicates with your PC! It works kind of (kind of) like Morse Code. #retrogaming #retrocomputing
