killercarl145 Posted September 23, 2010 Author Share Posted September 23, 2010 so make one of the port s player 1 port Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atariksi Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 so make one of the port s player 1 port Yeah, unless you use all four ports (have four players in your home). I usually have two players at most and that's usually Joust. And some games use two ports or the second port like Wizard of Wor so best to map port 4 or 3 to port 1. Now that I think about it, you could leave the trigger #3 and POT6 and POT7 in there and overload it with POT0 and POT1 and trigger #0 and both ports would work (with one joystick). You still have to take care of the keypad selection from GTIA CONSOL pins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
