Stelladaptor and the Kid's Controller

[Atari Dogs]

I was just trying to play Holey Moley on my computer with the Stelladaptor and the Kid's Controller (keypad) that I just bought, and it is not working. I am using the z26 emulator. Is the Stelladaptor compatible with the Kid's Controller?

I tried the same thing with the regular keypad with Star Raiders and it did not work. I don't think it was designed to handle the keypads, only the joystick and driving wheels. It would be nice if they had a update to the adaptor that would allow it to use the keypad.

The keyboard controllers (and all the variants, which electrically are the same, such as the Kid's Controller) will not work with the Stelladaptor. Only Atari 2600 (and compatible) joysticks, paddles, and driving controllers are supported. This was done to allow the Stelladaptor to detect the type of controller plugged in without the need for external drivers.

And, in addition, we wanted to support the three most popular and used controllers - joysticks, paddles, and driving controllers - that could not be easily emulated with a keyboard or mouse.
