Magic Knight Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I remember someone patching Dropzone so you can play it with the two buttons on the Atari 7800 joystick. Regular control using space bar for smart bombs is odd. Is there a link to a 2 or 3 button dropzone mod anywhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Robot Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Boards turned up from OSHPark but a manufacturing problem meant they didn't silkscreen them. They have already emailed to apologise and say they are reprinting so I'll have 6 of these boards (3 without silks)! They look pretty good but I've not had time to test one yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonie Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 You know, that's funny. I had some show up w/o ss from PCB express. Wonder if they use the same house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMontezuma Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 (edited) I asked, because, I used different resistors (4k7) to reduce the current flow and the games patched by ascrnet still work well.I printed the paddle values in BASIC and what I get is:3 - idle 228 - button pressed In BASIC http://atariage.com/forums/topic/278884-2-button-joystick/?do=findComment&comment=4029882 Edited February 24, 2019 by TheMontezuma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMontezuma Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 (edited) By the way, I can recommend the following cable: https://www.ebay.de/itm/Controller-Verlängerungskabel-für-Sega-Megadrive-Genesis-Amiga-Atari-Commodore/153252978262 All 9 wires are present, so you can easily build your own joystick with 3 fire buttons and still be able to connect it to the XE series.

ascrnet Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 How do you check (in the code) that the second (or the third button) is pressed? asking if PADDL0 or PADDL1 is equal to 228, check the example https://github.com/ascrnet/TestJoy2B/blob/master/TestJ2b.asm regards 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Robot Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 It's my birthday. My wife got me a decent soldering iron and OSHPark delivered the boards. Perfect! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Robot Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 One thing has become clear, putting the dsub on the end was a mistake, the board sticks straight into any enclosure you may want to use almost certainly getting in the way. UDLRF + SANWA + Flippers all work OK. I need to write a tester to check everything else. Note: You will only need the SANWA plug or the UDLR plugs, you wont need both. Something like this https://ebay.us/G6JmHL will be pretty much plug and play for the stick and all the buttons. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Robot Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 It appears to "almost" work perfectly. I'm having an issue with the paddles, when enabled they read 0 all the way to the end of their travel and then 1...2...128 I don't understand why, I think it's the 1M pots I'm using, more investigation is needed. All the buttons, joystick (using sanwa and UDLR connectors), the driving controller and the switches all work perfectly It's really cool to see the driving controller 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
