ColecoVision Stick Testing Software, for most of your stick testing needs!

[Jess Ragan]

I got distinctly tired of using the Nuvatec Super Action Controller tester included with PiColeco, so I came out of hibernation just long enough to make a controller tester utility of my own. It's nothing fancy, but it makes all inputs clear to the user (unlike Nuvatec's) and it doesn't crash the system randomly even with alternate controllers plugged in (unlike Nuvatec's).

 

Alternately, you could use the 240p Test Suite software Nanochess made, which is at least as good for joystick testing as the JC Stick Tester is. Still, this gets the job done... unlike Nuvatec's utility, which sucks tremendously. (And there's a green screen! Holy hell, how am I supposed to read anything on a green screen!? Flat black and white is way more readable, especially on old display formats like RF and composite.)
