Goochman Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 ugh - Ive been pulling my hair out a few days as Ive been trying to get Spectre running now that I have a sweet PS/2 keyboard and mouse attached to my Mega 2 via the Eiffel adapter. I am using a PS/2 connected keyboard and PS/2 compat USB mouse with the Eiffel. I havent been able to get Spectre to start - getting error msgs that something is wrong with the ROMs. I took the Eiffel out and put my Mega 2 ST keyboard and mouse back in and Spectre runs fine. Anyone else see this behavior and found a work around? Id really like to use the PS/2 keyboard and mouse for my Mac fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidLittleMan Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 This is interesting. So, Eiffel does not give fully compatible keyboard and/or mouse signals to Atari input connectors ? That seems as only explanation. And that makes me to ask: how about compatibility with games ? Some have really weird input handling code. Experienced problems with Eiffel and some games ?

Goochman Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 I dont know about any games just yet - only that Spectre doesnt work right now with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted January 17, 2020 Author Share Posted January 17, 2020 Ok false alarm here......I couldnt get Spectre to work with the Eiffel no matter what I did. I plugged my Mega keyboard in (which required me to remove and reinsert the Spectre cart) - as luck would have it Spectre worked. I went to run Spectre today with my Mega keyboard and it wouldnt start - After some jiggering of the cart it worked, so I went back to my Eiffel connector and Spectre worked no problem. Any other Spectre users out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
