Is there any quick way to test all of the functions of a 5200 controller?

Like, a controller diagnostic cart or a game that has functions mapped to every spot on the keypad so you can test the keypad quickly? Even a diagnostic ROM that you can put on an Atarimax USB cart would do the trick.

Yes, it's called Pete's Test cart. Look at the 5200 game section here at Atariage.

i test with 3 games

 

missle command to check the stick for jitters

then i test the keypad with galaxian as pressing each button skips to the corresponding level

and digdug gives you the feel for the up down left right and both buttons

Freakin' sweet! Thanks! I'll have to check it out. Is it available in the AtariAge store? It's down at the moment. Worst case scenario, I can put it on an AtariMax USB cart.

This also will work. Thank you!

Just wanted to say thanks again. I found a lot on ebay that is supposed to come with a 4-port console, two rebuilt controllers, and all three of those games. I don't plan on getting an AtariMax right now, but Pete's Test Cart will have its day in the sun
