Kaiju Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Hey, just a quick question. I am not familiar with the Vox, so if someone can clarify: How would one go about playing in twin stick mode, and, support the Vox? Or is it simply not do-able?

+save2600 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Not doable without some kind of a Y adapter or splitter, which I've never heard anyone do. Might have to hack your own with a couple of DB9 extension cables, but not even sure that would work. Joystick inputs would probably screw up the AtariVox side of things.

+groundtrooper Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 It can be done with an Y Cable. Dauber did a test with dual stick mode and the Vox, it works but the sounds are not the same as dual stick mode. Here is a video of his test. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRtq_i1V9A0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaiju Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 Hmm I assumed a y into second player with the vox and fire stick. I checked out the video, but Im not sure what to compare Seans results against. Are there missing voices or just oddly sounding voices?

Maybe he can chime in with a first person opinion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dauber Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 My final opinion: do NOT try to use AtariVox and a dual stick w/splitter if you're playing a serious game of T:ME Salvo. It's fun to get the weird sound effects that result, but the game will likely crash. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaiju Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 (edited) Hmmm ok thanks so much Janitor Sean. I was looking for something besides robotron to use this little project setup me and my little girl built one weekend. Can anyone recommend some twin sticks for 7800/2600/400-800?

Kaiju Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 Well I meant games of the twinstick variety Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dauber Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 BTW, here's a video I made using twin-stick mode WITH an AtariVox. This video will explain my previous response: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
