For Sale New Universal USB joystick adapter version 3.0 is out!

[Nitz76]

Small packet received today, that was really fast, thanks a lot, but I will be able to test it next week on my X1000 though.

Hey Phantom, did you had time to test it?

Hi Nitz, yes everything is perfect, thanks a lot. Although Flashback (reminisence) the fire button does not work. Probably is a problem with the port.

Hum... Did you tried it with the Windows joystick calibration? Might just be wrongly mapped.

Good thing!
What are you using? There might be en equivalent utility.

 

[Templar]

Only AmigaOS obviously. Oh, I have my wife's MacBook Pro, is there a tool there?

 

[Nitz76]

Please see my tutorial : http://www.retronicdesign.com/en/amiga-os4-1-tutorial/
You might find your answers there.

Cheers! :beer:

I had to configure it as gamepad as well (now it's configured both for joystick and gamepad), in order for some other games to work. So, you might modify your tutorial.

Thank you Phantom! I'll put that in the tutorial. AmigaOS is quite new for me. I had help from the community (just like you!).

Hey Amibayers!

A new batch just came out of the factory.
Please visit out website for purchase; http://www.retronicdesign.com/en/

I noticed on http://www.retronicdesign.com/en/download/ that there are several firmwares to download. Am I right to think there isn't just one firmware that supports all these device types, but instead one firmware for each type?

 

[Nitz76]

Not all pinouts can be supported at once in one firmware.
Reason is simple; Power and Grounds pins are not at the same place and this is a real issue...
I may combine some firmware in the future but not all for sure.
Auto-detection of a device would also be a real pain as some are too different.
You can take a look at the specifications here: http://www.retronicdesign.com/en/specifications/

 

[fabbie54]

Thanks for confirming.

 

[Nitz76]

Actually we did update the compatibility list and recently corrected the Bally Astrocade firmware for supporting the top paddle.

This week, we've implemeted the Atari Flashback 1 controller. It works flawlessly! This adapter is using a shift register like the Nintendo and Super Nintendo controllers to serialize the buttons. It was easy to implement.

See our download page for 3.x adapter firmware; https://www.retronicdesign.com/en/download/

Cheers!
