JagChris Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) Playing Kaboom. Both sets of paddle controllers(not driving) I have will not behave. First time using either pair. Besides being a tight fit when I go to try them it just causes the buckets to flit around in an erratic twitchy manner. Joystick works fine. Bad ROM or bad paddles?

thank you Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Hello Jittery paddles is normal most likely you only need to open them up and clean them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brainworm Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Yeah, Kaboom! is very sensitive to paddle jitter. So paddles that work OK for Video Olympics or Breakout may freak out on Kaboom!. I've had better luck cleaning my paddles/pots with Deoxit than with rubbing alcohol, but YMMV. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JagChris Posted February 11 Author Share Posted February 11 Ok they're fixed. I didn't do the complete teardown. I just cleaned the potentiometers with a quick couple sprays of contact cleaner then used contact lubricant spray.afterwards. let it sit for a few hours then they worked great. Thanks guys.
