Chris-in-NJ Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 (edited) I've had a Redemption adapter for nearly five years now and used to use the start button on my original Trak-ball to start a game. The button fell in about a year ago and I haven't tried to use it since, until today with my nephew visiting. He suggested I try the start buttons on my five non-working 5200 joysticks and see if I could get one of them to work. I had disassembled one of them around the time I got the Redemption, and taking this apart, he suggested I touch the start button with something metal. I used one of the screws from the joystick, and voila. I can play again! How much I'd missed Jr. Pac-Man... The new 7800 version's gonna have to be quite a bit better than this one if I'm to spend my cash on one...

It is! And once PMP has the intermissions done, it will be perfection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
