Multicart #3 is now available for purchase!
Fres replied to Super-Genius!'s topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
Nice collection of games (MC 1, 2, 3). Good looking interface and layout. However, you guys really should get someone to proofread your multicart menus. Kangeroo, Astrochance, Wizard of War, others? These errors could easily be avoided to make a more polished and professional product. Just a thought. -
digital "joy" pad... a dream comes true...
Fres replied to Heaven/TQA's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
Check out www.pccompetitor.com, if you don't already know about this. They sell a very well-made cable that plugs into your gameport and allows you to attach two unmodified Atari joystick controllers to your PC. It works perfectly for me. I also use joy2key (a keyboard emulator) with it so I can use Atari joysticks with Atari 800, 2600, C64, Amiga emulators, MAME, etc. Joy2key is not required if you only use one stick, but there is a problem with XP seeing the 2nd joystick as a separate controller, and joy2key can translate input from both sticks into key commands -- great for emulators. As far as I know this is not an issue with Win98. I also recently acquired a USB to gameport adapter from Radio Shack for a couple of dollars so now I am running two original unmodified Atari joysticks through one USB port. Works like a charm. The only drawback is that I haven't powered up my Atari 8-bit nearly as often as I used to since the emulation/controller combination is so good now. Also the PC Competitor adapter is a little expensive (about 40 bucks). Just thought I would throw in one of my experiences! -
