Lord-Chaos Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 Is it possible to use for example an ATARI ST or AMIGA or C64 GEOS mouse on an ATARI 2600 or similar Trakballs ? They all have the same ports and fit to the ATARI 2600. Or does it take too much CPU time to read the data from a mouse/trakball so that it would not be possible to display something on the screen ? The "resolution" of the mouse/tb can be quite low , because the resolution of the 2600 isn´t as high as the resolutions of the systems the mice were designed for.

Thomas Jentzsch Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 Is it possible to use for example an ATARI ST or AMIGA or C64 GEOS mouse on an ATARI 2600 or similar Trakballs ? Sure! That's what I made my Missile Command Trak-Ball hack for. There are also versions of the hack that support the ST or Amiga mouse. Check here! The GEOS mouse won't work because it operates completely different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisjohn Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 I finally got around to digging out my Amiga mouse for my recently purchased Missile Command AM cart. Wow. It's so much more enjoyable. The gameplay instantly better matches the arcade and other versions that use either a mouse or trackball. No more dragging the cursor across the screen desperately trying to get to the right spot to fire a missile at. Now it's purely working out where that right spot is. Thanks be to Thomas.

ApolloBoy Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 As soon as I get a Trak-Ball, I'm getting this game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
