DEBRO Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Do me a favor though. I have a Rubio CX52P paddle controller. It would be really nice to see Tempest be 5200 paddle friendly. That would just make my year. *nudge, nudge* It should be already. Isn't the 5200 paddle just a 5200 joystick The 5200 joystick itself is nothing more than a paddle.

Dutchman2000 Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 I agree, I think the paddle should work just fine as is. Of course if anyone wants to send me one to test..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 You know, if I wanted to protect my source code from prying eyes, I'd put it on 8" disks too. -Bry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutchman2000 Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Well, that was one of the ways they did backups at Atari. At that time they were mostly using PDP-11/70's or smaller. They had to use disks or RK05 diskpaks. These disks were the programmer's personal backup, in case something happened to the data on the system.

Ferris Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 You would think it would work just fine but there are a few titles out there that sort of suck with the paddle and I dont know why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow you'd have to be some kind of serious nut to want to try and read data off of old stuff like that! :-) Curt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
