FB9’s problem with paddles was a hardware issue. The voltages across the pots are compared to the wrong reference, due to 1KOhm resistors, not 510KOhm ones that would be needed for original or compatible paddles. It’s a quick if fiddly fix with a soldering iron, but putting different firmware on it won’t fix it, or break the 10; at least not handling of paddles, anyway. YMMV

Do you know the value of the four resisters you removed? We know that 510kOhms are spec'ed to replace them, but a (possibly) easier mod would be to add another resistor in parallel; i.e. on top of the existing ones. We know: 1/510kOhms = 1/r + 1/R where r is the existing resistance and R is the one we'd need to double up with it. If we have a little more information, it would make for a simpler mod. DoctorMike

Ooh ooh. Details!

I need to get my Vec out of store. It’s been too long. Was inspired by the Bad Apple vectrex video 🙂 https://spritesmods.com/?art=veccart

Can I ask how much these are? I have an old Vec Flash Cart with the old miniUSB socket, I bought years ago, but have a feeling it’s like the Atari Crocodile ones, so the console can’t be powered up while connected for file transfer. An SD and life Dev capable cart would be more convenient
