Edouard Vergriete Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 (edited) I just bought the console reconditioned through a well known web seller giant. I got it for 60 € (I live in France), and received it today, Saturday the 17th of June. First test, big fear: the joystick was unresponsive while pushed in the right direction. I got a message about a wireless controller (???) interfering with a paddle, yet no paddle attached and of course no wireless joystick involved. I guessed the software layer was corrupt. By chance, I found out in no time your tutorial, posted or updated yesterday. Tell me about synchronicity!!! I updated the firmware and miracle, the problem was solved!!! So a big thank you (and to Atgames) for your very clear tutorial, you saved my day! Edited June 17, 2023 by Edouard Vergriete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
