boxes of sawdust Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I only have two joysticks for my 2600 and am experiencing trouble w/ both. One of them does not respond in the up direction, and the other one is beginning to become less responsive in certain directions, which is how the problem w/ the other one began. Any tips? Also, I don't know if this makes a difference, but I should note that these are the controllers that were packaged w/ the ”JR.” 2600. Thanks in advance for any help.

fiddlepaddle Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I suggest you take the screws out and clean the contacts with alcohol, contact cleaner, and/or an eraser. It's not hard. There are tutorials available (try google clean atari joystick) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syntaxerror999 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Do they respond the same way no matter what port you put them in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
