fibrewire Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Let's face it - If you have a mild case of carpal tunnel, using a CX40 to play a game is A NIGHTMARE, so I use the CX78 Joypad. Can the 8-bit atari computer take advantage of both buttons on the CX78? How does the computer read 2 buttons and are there any limitations to direction/button combinations?

Rybags Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Both buttons, no. Same deal with the ST mouse. But there's a project that replaces a resistor in the ST mouse to let the right button work on both. Fairly certain there's also one for the gamepad. I'm not a fan of the things - the old style games with pixel-level collision need precision and speed for direction changes, and you only really get that with an old-style joystick.

+Philsan Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Years ago I bought many of those joypads but, accustomed to Nintendo d-pad precision, I found them not very good. So I decided to continue to use various classic joysticks like Atari CX40 or Competition Pro 5000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walter_J64bit Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I like the CX78 Joypad but it does lock up some apps, one for top om head is the menu to MyIDE cart but any way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
