Thanks all for your help on this, is there any word on when FB9 specific paddles are being released (in Australia more to the point)

Atari Nut can't confirm as I only played very briefly some games and then released that the paddles didn't work (just found out non compatible with FB9) so haven't given it a good run and probably won't as I am going to exchange to FB8 gold so I can use my paddles.

Thanks for that, really appreciate the help. Just to confirm will my paddles work with the FB8, I have the chance to swap at my local Target.

Hi All, my wife brought me a FB9 Gold for my 40th last month, works great and love all the memories it brings back. My 2 favs are Kaboom and Super Breakout which work better with the paddle. I brought a set of paddle controls from Ebay to use. When I plug them in and try to use them I get told to switch off my joystick as it interferes with the paddle controls, so I do and I can't use my paddles. Not matter what I do I can't get the paddles to work, all I get is one full turn of the paddle and then the same "switch off your joystick" message comes up. Please help me and tell me what I am doing wrong? I read the manual that said only plug in the paddles after you start a game, which I have done and still nothing. Any helps or tips for a tech tragic would be greatly appreciated.
