JacobZu7zu7 Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Well, not sure if this is a problem but with Microsurgeon and Night Stalker, seems that the controls hang a bit while in moving around in both games. Kinda hesitates or gets stuck... sometimes in Night Stalker I try to move the pad up.. but goes straight across instead. Wondering if this is just how it is, or does my controllers pads need a clean or fixing?? I think it might be just how the games are, since both controllers reactions are exactly the same. I also noticed on Mission X , can't even fire at things sometimes, have to tap the button 2 or 3 times just to drop a bomb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cparsley Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I'd check the controllers, especially on the shooting item, as it should be one shot normally. As for the moving, if your not exact, it'll go in the direction of closest movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 (edited) i had a controller not working right,so i took it apart and cleaned everything inside.actually it was neat to look at and they worked better.

IntellivisionDude Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Not sure if this also goes for the Intellivision. But recently i was having problems with a Colecovision Controller and someone said the spring inside can get a little worn and needs to be stretched a little so it is creating enough pressure again. I still have not got around to doing this myself. But i will soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cparsley Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 The test cartridge that is out there (the one that plays an inning of baseball at the end) can be a good test to run on the controllers. If you don’t have the cart, put it on the ram cart (geez I cant remember the exact name of it right now (they made em to download roms into the cart to play directly back on the ‘ol INTV) but the name escapes me atm.

JacobZu7zu7 Posted March 6, 2010 Author Share Posted March 6, 2010 Intersting replies, but still not quite sure about my controllers. Well, on the games Burgertime and Beauty/Beast it works just fine... so... but noticed on Lady Bug, I can't go up in the mazes well., even trying to hit up as well as I could, only worked 70% of the time.
