Wonder what it will take to get the paddle working.. in USB mode.

Since the emulator is good with using the VCS Spinner in the carousel games...

I am just starting to think about the CFG file that is created for the USB roms/disk files. (For controller input)

Since the VCS stick/spinner works in the carousel games, and there is an option to configure the Paddle for the USB games, you would would think Retro Games missed something in passing thru the spinner when operating off USB.

is the 'Paddle' config just to convert Paddle to stick.... Even if it is.. the paddle works with Super Breakout and the Castle game... so the ability should be there.. somewhere. Are there config files for the 2 carousel games that can be analyized?

Looking at the CFG file that gets created, it seems Paddle0 needs some adjustment, as it uses the stick axis. Any thoughts? Would love to get the VCS 'paddle' going in USB mode...

it will depend on if Colleen supports it or not and if RGL can add it, they have said `We get no money from making updates` so do not see it anytime soon, but they could update it, they made there money from THE400 Mini already, well that how I see it anyway, they offer updates because it sell consoles its like having a guarantee, companies are under no oblation to add a guarantee or updates so its a feature that helps the sell of the item, I did a course in retail years ago and worked in Argos at one time, I have worked in rental all my life, in the 80s I would sometimes sell Commodore 64 most the time I would fix them(I hated haggling with people.. ) in 2 computer shops(Prospect Computers, gone years ago in the 90s, and Macob, (Macob Systems now, its still here, it shop has not really changed, it just sells PC stuff now.. and is online https://www.macobsystems.co.uk) and fix them from 1989+ (was 18 then wow time fly's by).
