Joystick adapter on eBay

There is an auction on eBay for an adapter that uses the ]['s ic socket type joystick input with a breakout box with 2xatari/commodore type joystick connections...

How in the world would this thing work???

Joy left value= only 0 & joy right value= Only 255? Even then how would the second button be realized? Also, it would seem ALL of my games only recognize a single joystick (8 or 16-bit), so would good would it be unless it were to be used as paddle controllers?

For that matter would a set of commodore or Atari paddles be usable with a ][ series machine?
