I had several poeple ask for units when I had two left. Both ndicated they'd get back to me right away. A number of days went by, I even messaged them. No response. That is all fine. Another user wanted one bad, and since the other two didn't respond I sold one to him. Bottom line.... I have `1 unit...

You need to install D2 first, then put the rebirth files into that directoy. Then you run the rebirth version.

Rebirth by itself won't play, you must install D2 first.

I really had no problem doing that from a CD

don't have time to look inside a joystick, so you'll have to search digikey yourself.

Thye value is really easy...

102 = 10 +2 more 0's so 102 = 1000ohm or 1k

I am pretty sure that is gonna be it.
I highly doubt it is a 201 (which would be 200 ohms)
