cholm1891 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 I have a Joystick controller that came from an Atari Flashback console (Flashback 2 I believe) that has worked fine until recently. All of a sudden the right direction stopped working. I took it apart and re-soldered the wire for the right direction, but nothing changed. At first it went up when I pressed it to the right, but that was only due to a sloppy soldering job (the solder was connecting the right and up directions). After fixing this, the problem was not fixed. Would it be a problem with the controller's connection to the console? If anyone has any advice I appreciate it.

boggis the cat Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 There are a lot of potential issues. Try it in the second port first. If it works then the problem is the port on the console. If it doesn’t, then it’s a problem with the joystick. It may be a bad connection in the jack, so try wiggling it a bit to see if that changes the result. You can get decent Chinese clones of the originals. Look on AilExpress for the best prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
