CKILLERH3 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Suppose you want to run a trak ball game (Missile Command, Tempest, Centipede) from an Atarimax SD cartridge. I can't use the trak ball to scroll and pick the rom to load. Is it OK to start the came using the regular Atari 5200 controller, then unplug it and plug in the trak ball after the game starts? HOT SWAP ?? I figured I'd ask before possibly exploding my 5200 console. Thanks! cKillerH3 Atari VCS and Jr. Atari 5200 Amiga 1200 & 4000 SNES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
