Extension cables would be missing the molded part that prevents the 
cable from being pulled off from the base of the joystick. I would 
prefer a professional-looking solution, with no DIY tuning, such as 
heat-shrink tubing.

When it comes to wireless joystick adapters, it turns out that are 
practically a solved problem, with several options for something that 
converts digital inputs to Bluetooth or USB. The company 8BitDo 
manufacturers receivers that plug into various game consoles, including 
Sega MegaDrive, which could apparently be converted to MSX (which might 
be close enough to Atari 2600 and our beloved machines) using this 
adapter: https://www.msx.org/wiki/JoyMega

That page also features a few more examples of DE-9S connectors whose 
metal shell has been removed.
