Market survey: USB-Adapter for Commodore/Atari joysticks
Retronic Design is now offering a joystick adapter that lets you connect classic Commodore and Atari joysticks to modern computers. Retronic is located in Canada, the product is distributed through ebay.
Similar products are available from various other vendors: Amigakit (not in stock yet), Retrozone (USA) or keio.dk are offering prebuilt solutions. In Germany, retro-donald.de is offering an adapter kit, and last but not least Individual Computer's Keyrah can be used to connect joysticks to your computer - this one just simulates keystrokes though.
For hardware tinkerers who want to build their own adapter from scratch, there's a wide variety of tutorials available:

Amiga-Emulator: Janus 0.6
Janus is an Amiga emulator written in Javascript and by Rupert Hausberger which works with modern web browsers - although being completely supported only by Chrome currently (amiga-news.de reported).
In the latest version 0.6 AmigaOS 1.x as well as now version 2.04 and AROS are supported. Additionally games like Alien Breed Tower Assault, Project-X Special Edition, Shadow of the Beast 2 or Wings now work.
Changes in version 0.6 (25.10.2012):
- ROM
- Added support for extended-roms.
- AROS kickstart replacement is now the default-rom, and will be downloaded and used on the fly.
- RAM
- Changed internal memory alignment from 8 to 16 bit.
- Added fast-ram support, through a emulated Commodore A2058 in Zorro2-mode.
- Removed the D8DC-memory-option from the GUI. This memory space is now always allocated.
- Sorted access for memory-routines by priority.
- CPU
- Fixed sign-extension for memory to address-register transfers in MOVEM.
- Fixed sign-extension for absolute-word addresses in exEA.
- Fixed wrong address when writing a byte to the stack in ldEA.
- Fixed 32bit calculations for address-regsiters in ADDQ/SUBQ.
- Fixed remainder calculation in DIVU.
- Optimized integer-arithmetic functions. Size depending calcalations are now used.
- Improved exception 2/3 handling.
- More small cleanups not listed here.
- Disk
- Ported latest disk-code from WinUAE. Disk-based problems should be gone now, e.g. floopy shown as BAD or read errors.
- Diskchange does now work.
- Drives can be disabled now.
- DD/HD types are now supported.
- Display
- Added missing support for HAM6.
- Fixed horizontal and vertical screen-centering.
- Fixed screen-draging, almost, read the "Known bugs" section.
- Added better screen-scrolling.
- Input
- Fixed key-mapping to the amiga key-layout, at least in Chrome. Firefox does not like "öäü", it seems.
- Added support for individual configurations of joystick-movement and fire-buttons.
- Fixed bug, that made the fire 1 button on joystick 0 not working.
- Fixed bug in the mouse-movement function, that calculates the wrong coordinates in some cases.
- GUI
- Added eject-button in the disk-change requester.
- Removed the CPU and OCS/ECS options. They are useless so far.
- The "Pause" and "Resume" buttons are once now.
- Made some options only apera when selected.
- Did some cosmetics.
- Misc
- Added support for Zorro2-expansion cards.
- Added a more precise event-handling. This makes the audio-output a little smoother.
- Changed the ratio of CPU-/Chipset-time from 1:8 to 1:4
- Fixed a bug in the RTC. "Year" is now calculated correctly.
- Fixed incorrect response of serial.device. Now crashed programms does reset (and show the guru), instead of idle.
- Any output on the serial.device is now redirected to the debug-log. (dev only)
- Kickstart/Workbench 2.04 and AROS does now work.
- Overall about 10-30% more speed, as long as the blitter is not used too much.
