The 9 pin D-shell connector (so called because of its shape) basically supplied voltage on one pin, and the other pins were used to sense return voltage corresponding to joystick/button presses, one per pin. Modern controller mechanisms have become steadily more complex, but at the cost of becoming specific to the systems they match.
