Or try a game genie. Sometimes using a gamegenie makes better contact with the pins. Or get a top loader. As for the connector I got mine of ebay for like 6 dollars. eBay Auction -- Item Number: 370447384178 Not bad plus warentee.
-
Not wasting anymore money it was just a test. Good enough as is for now. The buttons don't even work as I need new a new mylar flex or whatever it is called. Or I could use the wico for a paddle but not sure I want to destroy a good wico for that.
-
Anyhow here is my completed controller. Decided to get creative. Went to homedepot. Got the rubber washer fits just inside circle and looks cool. And the washer and nut from the potentionmeter. Nothing fancy. Not super sturdy but if you are gentle it is good.
-
My 5200 stopped working. Might get a 2 port or trade if I find one. But the 5200 4 port I have is still powering. So ac adpter still works. But what about 2 port. Can I use the same ac adapter or does 2 port use a different ac adapter.
-
Deck only no cords. Even untested might have good chips. If bidding is not too high get it. Worth the risk. If you 2 port works then I'll send you my 4 port and switchbox in exchange. eBay Auction -- Item Number: 370503988710

Nobody has a 2 port deck. Except my cousin used to have one but we threw it away long time ago. Now it is hard to find. 50 on ebay is the cheapest and that is too much. I paid 50 for 4 port + 3 controllers + trackball + 9 games. So 50 is too much. Or as phuzzed suggested the motherboard might be failing. But 2 ports have fialed also right. 2 port is no more stable right. Maybe it is time to ebay the whole collection.
-
My 5200 is acting up again not giving video. Switchbox might have gone bad again. But I got to test the paddle out before my atari stopped working. I'll take a photo.
-
They do work. I tested them. -
Got it already. Now how to secure it. Velcor perhaps? The screw part is to short so washer not working.
-
Never mind I figured the correct sequence of wires. Yay. Got a working paddle. Now what is the best way to secure the potentionmeter to the bottom. Can I use velcro? Or is that too risky?
-
Just tested and this totally rocks. Nestopia 1.4.1 mac and fds bios. Game genie code works. I never tuirn red but stay big no matter who I bump inot. Inother words I never die. Now I can finally beat the game without freeziing and pausing.
-
So will these codes work in emulation?
-
Kinda got it. Found even without a potentionmeter if I tap 1 black wire and the brown wire while the game is on the paddle reappears in super breakput and moves left and right. But if I connect those 2 wires to the 1k potentionmeter I got at radio shack nothing happens. Stick moves left and right but no paddle appears or moves when I move potentionmeter left and right.
-
I think I'm doing it wrong. I am using the existing wires. But there are four. 2 black 1 red and 1 brown. And only 3 holes on potentionmeter. Not sure which wires should go in which holes on potentionmeter. Dob't want to blow my atari. Tried 1 black and 1 red in 1st and second hold and no work. Tried super breakout. Also tried hole 1 and 3 and no good. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.
-
Thanks got it. Held together with pliar and pull top knob with hand. The other way was not working. Got white piece off but not black. This is much better. Thanks.
-
Well I guess I'll try anyway. Just got the potentionmeter from radioshack. But how the h** do you get the stick off. I took the 3 screws off. It came apart in half. Bottom with wires and keypad and top half with stick. But there is no nut holding the stick in place so how do you get the stick out of the top half.
-
Lost levels was a fds disk not a cart so game genie never existed for fds disk system. So there are no no codes. I don't what those 4 are for but it can't be because fds never had game genie.
-
So this is good enough? http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062297&filterName=Type&filterValue=Potentiometers
-
Why don't you try it then and let us know.
-
Isn't that adapter 9 pin? Or is it 15 pin?
-
Or can I just buy a potentionmeter or whatever it is called and hookup the wiers and use my own knob?
-
My understanding is no not without an adapter.
-
Thanks for the video very helpful. Now I just have to find a paddle to use. I have a spare dead 5200 controller I could practice on. So what is the best paddle to use?
-
I'm still confused if you remove the pots from 5200 how can you replace with 2600 ones. Aren't the wires different connections. Or are the pot wires are seperate from the 5200 15 pin connectiion. And if so how doo you connect the pot wires. Do they have to be soldered somewhere.

Actually a vidoe would be nice to help visualize instead of just photos.
