dualcam Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I have made a firmware upgrade for native CX22 and CX80 trak-ball support. Follow the firmware link on http://2600-daptor.com/. The trak-ball appears as a mouse so it can be used with emulators like MAME with arcade games. I have been able to test the CX22 mode, but not the CX80 so the direction might be backwards. If someone tries the CX80, I would appreciate hearing back either way if is good as is or if it needs to be changed. Thanks, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjangaroo Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 (edited) The firmware upgrade works great with the CX22. Tried out a few things in MAME just to compare and it works great there as well. Thanks for the improvement. Edited March 25, 2013 by kjangaroo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Any keypad controller support? Like for Basic Programming? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dualcam Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 Any keypad controller support? Like for Basic Programming? Yes, the II supports all the various keypads. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dualcam Posted March 27, 2013 Author Share Posted March 27, 2013 OK, so word back is the CX80 is *not* working. I'll post when the firmware as been updated for that. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I don't have those devices, and can't provide any feedback (although I'd like to track them down at some point ...). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voch Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I tried it with my CX-80 in Finder on my Mac (budged the cursor a little but not useably) and in SDLMAME for Mac and MameUI for Windows running "'Marble Madness". Still unsure as to which CX-80 trackball I have (CX-22 or ST-Mouse), but I confirmed that it works with "Missile Command" on my real 65XE in trackball mode (switching the controller to TB and hitting CTRL-T) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'daptor in this case is seen as a USB HID mouse, so can be checked on the desktop. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dualcam Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 CX80 is working now. Main problem was the instructions to select CX80 were not clear. It is a 2 step process. First plug in with the USB with the DIP switches down to get the 'daptor into mouse mode. Then you need to wait a couple seconds for the 'daptor to bootup. Once you see it is alive and the LED is flashing regularly, then you set the DIP switches for CX80 mode (switch 1 up, switch 2 down). The Y-axis was reversed, so the firmware has been updated fixing that - http://home.comcast.net/~tjhafner/2600-daptor%20II%20TB.hex Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
