VTPantha Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 I have had the Retron 77, but got the Hyperkin Ranger to play the paddle games. However, I either get one or two issues: either I can only use the paddle on one side of the game - either goes from left side to the middle on Super Breakout, or it moves from the left to the middle, then one more slight turn veers it all the way to the right in Kaboom. Is there a way to re-calibrate the paddle or make a change? I am currently using 6.6 map and 6.7 exe. I have gotten a 2nd Ranger along with the 2-way adapter and have the same issue. If I have the paddle on the screen on the left, I can still turn the paddle more to the left. That is why I am thinking I need to get the controller, Retron, or Stella to realize the center on the paddle needs to be re-centered and work fine.

PitfallJohn Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 I am seeing the same issue. I would also like to know how to fix this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r_chase Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Admittedly, I've had issues with the Hyperkin Ranger paddle part as well. While I wish there is a fix for it, I doubt there'll be anything that'll help. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiudr Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 I'm having the same issue with my new Ranger and asked about it in the community firmware thread since I'm running the community firmware. I have no idea why my Ranger only works on the left side of the screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTPantha Posted January 12, 2023 Author Share Posted January 12, 2023 I am a little leary on doing this, but has anyone opened the Ranger up and maybe re-positioning the paddle portion to maybe center it, or do we think it is more of a Retron 77/Stella issue?

akator Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 The first R77 I bought arrived DOA. The replacement works great with 2 Ranger controllers and has for the entire time I've owned it, including paddle games. I upgraded it to the latest Stella build. I've played hundreds of games on it (no exaggeration) and I don't remember having any of these issues. It makes me wonder if there is a newer manufacturing defect in the Ranger controllers, similar to all of the R77 consoles with bad RAM. I guess I got lucky with the replacement console because it works perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
