Paddles, is this right?

[Retro Lord]

I'm learning how to implement paddles, and I'm in a confused position right now. I think it works, but I'm not sure I don't get any error messages, but I can't move missile1 around which I've set to be moved with the paddle. It might be my settings in Stella. I set the paddle controllers to - Paddle0 decrease=w, Paddle0 increase=s, Paddle0 fire=d. But I can't do anything with Paddle0 Analog?

 

Would love some help on this one.

Have you looked at the examples on the bB page?

Yeah I looked them over, and as far as I see I've set things up like in the examples. I also tried playing the example games in Stella and I could not get paddle controls to work with them either so it must be something wrong with Stella. I tried setting up the controllers like your page said. I'm using version 4.2 of Stella.

Okay! I installed the latest version of Stella and now it works after fiddling about with the settings. My version must've been to old, hehe.
