ST/Amiga Mouse adapter for Jaguar Gridrunner & Defender of the Crown

[Sapicco]

I just used my Atari amiga mouse with Star Wars arcade. It really didn’t respond well at all. Any suggestions?  Basically,  I move the mouse and the cursor just moves erratically in directions of no reason.  Luckily I have an st mouse and it works like a charm.

You selected Amiga mouse at the selection screen, I am presuming?

I did. But I didn’t try it selecting ST, maybe I’ll give that a whirl. I got the mouse new from Best a year or so ago. 
 

is there a way to clean the mouse?

Look under your mouse, there may be a switch to choose between Atari ST mode and Amiga mode:

So I didn’t look underneath the mouse for a switch, will check that out later. I did however select ST and it worked fine.  I’m glad because the wire is way longer.
