    Or create a single axis spinner using original Roller Controller hardware/electronics, set it to "Roller" mode for Victory (arcade accurate), or set it to "Joystick" mode for any other games that you'd want a spinner for (Omega Race and Star Trek would be arcade accurate with a Spinner).  If I'm not mistaken, the Roller Controller uses both joystick ports because each port can only read one axis of the two-axis track-ball, so this would only need to be connected to 1 joystick port as well...if I'm correct.  

    yes 1 port per axis .. 

     

    my steering use an rotary encoder 

     

     

     

     

    you can see the signal is clean ....

    Y'know, perhaps a similar controller with a rotary dial would be fun. It could be used with several CV games, such as Carnival, Destructor, Flipper Slipper, Gyruss, Omega Race, Pitstop, River Raid, Skiing, Space Fury, Star Trek, Strike It, Threshold, Turbo, Victory, as well as CollectorVision's Arkanoid, and perhaps even Team Pixelboy's Asteroids. But all those games would have to be hacked to support the rotary dial (even Turbo, for tweaking purposes). Galaxian and Beamrider could be adapted too, but they'd likely play a little weird compared to the originals. Sorry for the slight highjack of this thread, just thinking out loud.  :)

     

    you dont need to hack all these games .. use an arduino   to read ps2  trackball than output with  optocoupler to the coleco in joystick pulse  this way only one port is needed ... you could have 2 player game ..or you could use the  code from evg2000 paddle project with the attiny85 his project read encoder and translate to pulse... his code take care of the speed too .. ( doubledown love old arcade parts) 😉.... i did a mouse to coleco with an arduino....read mouse data convert it to joystick movement... plenty of option no need to hack the games...  

     

    you can see a video of the mouse to cv playing operation wolf ....

    Interesting.  Where did you get yours? 

     

    How much does the SGM run vs one of these boards?

    you will get 10 pcb for less than 10$ if you order them from china ...  ic can be found on ebay for maybe 15$ ... sgm is 90$ i think... but you get a freaking nice device with case and box.. they make a special adam color run right now

    Oh well.  I guess I was hoping for a cheaper 'SGM Lite' for the ADAM since it already has some of the SGM functionality.

    the ay board work with all the sgm game i have tested and i have most of them.. gauntlet works too... maybe the game will crash at some point didnt play that much... the ay board is a cheap solution if you build it your self.. if you buy from someone with shipping i think you should buy a sgm...

    Can't disagree with you there.  Covid MAY have played a part although maybe not.  Has it delayed the second run?  I don't know.  I know it's not the same but my wife works for a major packaged goods company and while Covid has certainly affected the way they do things, it has had zero effect on timelines and targets.

    major packaged goods compagny this is the key... collectorvision are people like us not major compagny so yes they are affected by post delay and everything that cause the delay... and they also have jobs and familly...

    Isn't the AimTrak a "Wii-mote"-esque gun (aiming device w/ tracking bar), type concept?  Could be interesting...maybe we can finally get a CV port of Atari's excellent Barnyard Blaster!!!  😄

     

    yes exactly so it should not be a bigdeal to mod the code to use the aimtrack...  but it take.game to go with it... cause new hardware with out game its useless

    Blasphemy!  If they were really "ColecoVision fans" they would own at minimum, 2 hand controllers, 2 Super Action Controllers, 1 Roller Controller, and 1 Expansion Module #2.  😁  People make me sad.

    i have everything i need the sce to test something

    Are you sure that door is actually where you need to go?  ;) 

     

    Not a very useful clue, I know, but an important clue nonetheless.

     

    than i will.continue to investigate...
