sonicdemon11 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Got my 2600+ last week and out of the box the CX40+ hasn't worked. For some reason when I plug it in, it seems to automatically point right and press the action button continuously. I've tried cleaning the ports but no luck. Luckily I already owned two hyperkin troopers. But I really wanted a working CX40+ because I like the feel of it over a trooper. I don't want to send the console back to wind up in a landfill somewhere. Does anyone have any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysticSword Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I can't speak for him, but perhaps try contacting @Ben from Plaion , as I've noticed on a couple other threads he's helped people that have had issues (such as a broken or non-working 2600+). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milage may vary. Radio silence on my 2600+ that was worthless after 4 hours of use and two cartridge swaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A usb joystick won’t work on an Atari 2600 or 2600+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, someone in another thread was just saying that the Trooper 2 joystick works as a single button stick IIRC, when plugged into an OTG cable on the 2600+. Stella tends to be quite compatible with controllers, even when it's a RetroArch core version. That of course doesn't necessarily mean that any particular random USB joystick will work though.
