It would be odd for one to work and not the other since these joysticks should be electrically the same and very simple. Yes, I have an older Atari joystick that works fine with it. However, the Wico Boss, Flashback 2, and the Wico Atari Command Control do not. I'll check out the new firmware when I get home and try again.

You can also try the 7800 firmware available I'll see if I can try when I get home from work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noah98 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Tried again tonight and got all of my joysticks working! Maybe I had bad firmware before? Anyway, all good now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amn Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I just received my adapters today! Anyone have an idea about how to get 2600 paddles working on a MiSTer? Doesn't seem to be immediately obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Paddle 0 is mapped to X and Paddle 1 is mapped to Y. You can verify this with a Windows machine under the joystick properties.

amn Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Thanks guys I couldn't get it to work properly yesterday but I admittedly didn't spend a huge amount of time on it. I'll hopefully be able to give it another shot tonight. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s natively supported in Stella as the author contacted me to have it properly integrated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
