Maztr_0n Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 I hope we get a new one someday, driving with the paddle is good but it'd be nice if i could tell where the center was or what not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Video Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 I just wonder, why? To my understanding of a driving controllers operation, it basically is just toggling right and left on and off. Obviously the plus (and various other options) CAN detect this, so why does no current option support driving controllers? The systems can even detect combos, directions add together to equal diagonals. Obviously you can add directions plus fire, to shoot while moving. So, it seems that its a deliberate thing to have the hardware not recognize opposite directions being pressed simultaneously. Granted only one official game uses it, but there's a decent selection of driving controller games, both straight, and modded, that use it. You can buy some (or maybe all?) Right here on atariage. Here's hoping this over site does get fixed in the near future, because I love Indy 500, its a great party game, and have a few third party stuff like thrust, which comes in joystick or driving controller flavors. I'd like to try dc on the plus at some point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Stamos Mullet Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 New users posting threads to ask questions that have already been answered 100 times, clearly in an effort to criticize Atari or make the 2600+ look bad should have their thread deleted and be blocked from this sub forum. do we really need astroturfed bad advice?

Excellent idea! Maybe someday you’ll be promoted to moderator of this forum and you can start deleting threads and blocking users. Seriously, Atari could really use someone like you to take care of things on this forum. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being rude to Atari in an effort to make their products falsely look bad asking questions they already know then answers to is “cool”. I didn’t realize Atariage became Reddit when the 2600+ was released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t realize Atariage became Reddit when the 2600+ was released. Asking a question is being rude to Atari? SMH. I'm sure the OP is very sorry his simple question offended your delicate sensibilities, and I've no doubt Atari themselves would be very proud of you for so vigorously defending them when someone asks such a horrific, incredibly detestable question whether the 2600+ supports the Driving Controller. I mean, THE AUDACITY!!!! Atari should give you a medal, and maybe a chocolate chip cookie. What's the desired punishment if someone were to so incredibly insult Atari by asking such a reprehensible, shocking, downright horrendous question as, "Does the 2600+ support the touch pad for Star Raiders?" Capital? Burning at the stake? The rack? Drawing and quartering? You really need to try decaf, or maybe a shorter horse... or both. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I've seen his posts in other threads on this section where the exact same discussion already took place. So why would someone start a thread to ask a question they already know the answer to? Look a little more at Dionoid's posts in this section and you'll have your answer. He's been complaining about this console for literal months. I'm not offended at all. Just pointing out this thread is redundant and OP knew that, so his motivations for starting it are suspect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
