dualcam Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 23 hours ago, Rodney Hester said: @dualcam - Beautiful - thank you! Can you describe the steps you followed to configure the 2600-PDL for both MiSTer Main and the core (in terms of input settings)? Also, since the core expects the fire button to be registered as button 1 but paddle as button 3, is that accounted for (so that one can simply swap between joystick and paddle seamlessly without having to reconfigure device or core inputs)? I think I used the same steps as most people - struggled and failed to do it myself. Googled and found a map file for the D9. Changed the name to reflect the 2600-PDL's USB PID, and then the paddles worked. I doubt this is the answer you were looking for. I would like to go back at some point and try again to manually map it myself to understand it, but this got a working paddle which is all I was wanting to accomplish at the time. In retrospect, some of my trouble was probably not understanding some of terminology used - like MiSTer just says "sticks" which I was not initially getting was their reference to analog axis. Also, and I think this might have been my main problem, I was not setting the "peripheral ports" in the 7800 core - confusing as I don't think I had ever seen controller jacks refereed to as "peripheral ports".

Googled and found a map file for the D9. Changed the name to reflect the 2600-PDL's USB PID, and then the paddles worked. Indeed, as a) I would like to be able to reproduce it myself so I understand both the mechanics of how MiSTer sees the device *AND* the core sees the device (which aren't the same thing!), and b) I strongly suspect that for at least the MiSTer switch setting you may need to 'lie' and send a different button ID for the paddle for it to be hot-swappable with a joystick in your adapter (again, only on MiSTer, due to the fact that the paddle input wants to come from a "button 3" for reasons).

dualcam Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Perhaps "button 3" is gamepad X (and then Y for paddle #2, leaving A/B just for joystick buttons 1/2). Mapping an actual gamepad and then trying it in the 7800 core to see what gamepad things work as what in the core might help decipher the mapping.

Stechmann Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 (edited) hello all, i have a 2600daptor and a 2600daptor II but cant get them to work with the 7800/2600 core. when i am in the Mister OSD, and rotate the paddles, the device does get input signals and moves the selection cursor left/right and up/down. but when i load Breakout ROM and select "Paddle" in the input menu, the sprite in the game just jumps to the side of the screen and stays there. i cannot move it. does someone have a step by step instruction of how to set this up correctly?

dualcam Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Sounds like the paddles were not mapped in the Mister controller setup - the paddles are the left sticks. Sorry, I don't have Mister setup up right now, or I would just post the controller config file for you to copy over.

dualcam Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 (edited) Oh, I think the attached is the config file I used. It has be some time since I messed with Mister, so possible it is out of date. This would be for the II & PDL Change the PID in the file name to use with the original.

RevEng Posted November 20 Author Share Posted November 20 In case anyone wanted to pick up a MiSTer FPGA but was put off by the price, there's a new option now soonish... TL;DW - it's cheaper and from all accounts I've seen it appears to be 100% compatible. Here's the link to the official store. So far there have been two batches produced, and they're sold out as I write this, but I expect they'll have more soon. IIRC it was less than a week between the two batches, and each one sold out in less than a day. 4 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/318275-mister-fpga-7800-core/page/16/#findComment-5569105 Share on other sites More sharing options...

+karri Posted November 25 Share Posted November 25 For some reason my banks told me that they refuse "this kind of transactions". I could not find the reason as I have pre-ordered lots of stuff in the past. My guess is that the banks require some 2 pass identification today and the retroremake.co does not support it. I also asked retroremake if they have other ways of payment. But their answer was a short no. So I hope these show up somewhere in the EU.

+karri Posted November 26 Share Posted November 26 Yep! The bank restricted my credit card for failed attempts. The EU requires strong authentication to all cards issued within the EU. I had to phone the bank to get my card useful again... Obviously there were some good things in Brexit as the UK people can now pre-order Mister Pi's.

I also have a Revolut Card, which is confirmed to work there. Try get one of that. They support virtual CC, so you can get it pretty quickly. And yesterday there were still batch 3 preorders open.
