rtulbric Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 I have one for the 2600 (black). It has a switch for "js" and "tb" (trak-ball and joystick, I beleive). For some games, "js" works alright. However, "tb" never works. Which games is "tb" suppose to work with? Wouldn't centipede and millipede by natual choices" ("tb" won't work for either of those). Any special intructions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sku_u Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 TB mode will not work with any 2600 games, except, maybe the TB hacks one of the members here created. Sadly, programmers never designed games to work in TB mode when the VCS was still being sold in stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtulbric Posted February 16, 2004 Author Share Posted February 16, 2004 If the "tb" setting for the trak-ball does not work for the 2600, what does it work for? (the atari computer games?, 7800?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindfield Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 XL/XE games, 5200 games, I presume a 7800 title or two... there's only one 2600 title that can be used with Trak Ball mode on the CX80, and that's Thomas' Missile Command TB hack.

rtulbric Posted February 16, 2004 Author Share Posted February 16, 2004 Thanks! I think the 5200 has its own trak-ball. If anyone knows 7800 games that work with the "tb" setting, let me know. Otherwise it sounds like the "tb" setting only works for the computer games (exception: the 2600 missile command hack). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
