Oh the Joust controls are non-useable anyway. What I meant was
basically to build your own. Robotron just uses standard leaf switch
8-directional joysticks, which you can find used for a couple bucks or
brand new in the 10-20 dollar range. Mount a couple at a comfortable
distance into a piece of plywood the right size, add a couple of buttons
for starting the game and you should be good to go.

I've got a Joust I might let go for something
tasty. It's the same
system board, you only need to swap the ROMs and re-work the control
panel ;)
ROM's might be possible, but a Robotron game gets a lot of heavy-duty
usage; I don't think I could trust any mods I would make to the controls. 8^(
