First I thought "ok, they are black..." then I realized they play so "analogue" and reached out for a screwdriver😊 By the way, one of my later model joystick with leave switches for the buttons got a problem as the plastic of the button got broken. I replaced them with some standard yellow micro switch arcade buttons and they fit (well, stuck forever)😅 Very nice! Good to know arcade buttons fit. I’m trying this controller with Juno First, it’s almost like cheating! lol Edited August 6 by MrChickenz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels better now that the top doesn't turn at all. I'm wondering if I can get better response from the buttons if I open it and give it a clean. Might try tomorrow. 😊 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think the plastic was the best on these. Be cautious when putting the screws back in if they are over tighten the posts break. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been stuck since the 26th July. I wanted it to arrive before the start of September , which seemed obvious that it would, now not so much. 😬 It's so silly how it got to the exact destination post office - TWICE - and then got sent back home where it came from. All I can think of is that the delivery label got ripped, or wet and it can't be read, or that the shipper was a plonker who doesn't know how to properly address label a package and now it's in Post Office Purgatory forever.

I think the Cruiser is even better! Fully microswitched and has an adjustable stick. Never seen a Cruiser. The Comp Pro models were all slightly different with quite some impact on your game play. For Kick Off2 on the Amiga only the model with micro switches for the stick and leaf switches for the buttons plus(!) rubber centering were be used by many players the others with micro switches for the button and the centering spring never got used by tournament players😊 Since Kick Off2 I am a Semitsu arcade stick user😉 Edited August 6 by DEANJIMMY 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I'm one of those weirdos that enjoys Nintendo's terrible and/or more obscure stuff. I want to see ports, remakes, or collections of the CD-i Trilogy, BS-Zelda, and the original LoZ Game & Watch game. The 7800 might not be the best fit for that, though. 😛 Also, I am more excited about Echoes of Wisdom than I have been about any other Zelda title since Wind Waker. And uh... to stay on topic, I'm probably going to buy this? I really want to mess around with the SNES2Atari adapter for my own game, and I'll probably pick up A.R.T.I. at some point. Yes it's already legendary. It's too bad it's only a demo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolphin and oink (aka wolf @ pigs.) Was worried this wouldn't work on my 2600+ but, it was fine.... @fairy princess Can you tell us which firmware you are using, because other people (including myself) reported that this cartridge does not work. You can find the firmware version of your 2600+ in the bottom right corner of the loading screen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrChickenz Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 (edited) Saw this on fleebay what the #@$& is this? Not sure how well it works. It’s different though! Atari 2600 Homebrew Player cartridge on socket support to be able to put your eproms without any welding on the support. Also compatible with the new atari 2600 + provided that the rom is compatible. Allows you to make your own cartridges by programming eproms of type 2732 only. Allows you to launch games /homebrews, etc... that have a size of up to 4Ko / 32kb Edited August 10 by MrChickenz 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
