I extracted EDID from many monitors I already owned and two could sync on 50 Hz. Then I ordered THEC64 MINI, but it didn't work well with HDMI to DVI-D adapter, but it worked with HDMI to VGA converters, and one of them also has sound out, but then I had to use an HDMI-extension cable since the stereo connector collided with the power connector.

The joystick DB9 to USB adapter is a JoyDivision. JoyDivision now works with THEC64 MINI with a new upgrade from http://www.onyxsoft.se/joydivision.html . It's the file THE64-joystick.hex that I use now. I tested JoyDivision adapter with the joysticks TAC-2, Terminator (hand grenade), and The Bug.
