Gaztee Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Finally got my grubby mitts on a redemption controller, but I'm having problems calibrating it to work with a cx40 or genesis/md pad. The instructions say to push the controller in all 4 directions before you start a game for the first time, but I can't get it to work. All that happens is that the ship (centipede) goes off in a NE direction & won't move any where else. With keystone kapers Kelly just runs left straight into the elevator & I can't get him out! What am I doing wrong? I'm doing the calibration after the boot up screen! Cheers in advance Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DamonicFury Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 I don't have a Redemption, but I do know there is a calibration pot inside the 5200 itself that may help. Pics of where it is located can be found in this thread: http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/181930-my-5200-is-acting-kinda-strange/page__p__2280867__hl__calibration%20pot__fromsearch__1?do=findComment&comment=2280867 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I will have to PM Albert as he was in on the design of the Redemption I believe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prodos8 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) You need to adjust the little centering pot inside your 5200 console. I made a masterplay clone for myself and it basically didn't work at all until I properly adjusted the little pot inside the console. I used Super Break Out to make the adjustment but Missle Command will work as well, just turn the thing a few times back and forth and then, with your redemption plugged in the controller port, adjust it so that the paddle/cursor is centered on your screen. After you do this your Redemption should work just fine. I know on some games, Galaxian comes to mind, you have to kinda thrash the stick around a few times before they work even after you make the centering pot adjustment.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot later in the week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
