This project allows using a classic PlayStation controller with Vectrex.
Parts list:
- 1x ATmega8
- 1x MCP42010 dual-channel digital potentiometer
- 2x LM358 opamp
- 4x IRLML2502 (or any similar) logic-level n-channel MOSFETs
- 1x LM1117-3V3 LDO, or equivalent
- Some resistors and capacitors

The hardware is done in KiCAD. The design files are in kicad directory.
To compile the source code WinAVR or avr-gcc/avr-libc is required. A programmer of choice is required to bootstrap the microcontroller.
This adapter works excellent for me, but it's probably an overkill of a circuit for something as simple as this.
Here's a test video:
