Someone with more experience should probably weigh in but I believe that is correct. Easily undone if needed ... you just have to get a set of paddles separate for the mister and one for the atari.

If you are looking for a case for the adapter, I have one on Thingiverse that uses the Pro Micro and a serial port.

New link... issues getting things published on Thingiverse.

I believe you need the Arduino Pro Micro or a Leonardo because the Arduino needs to be HID compatible (based on the ATmega32U4). The buttons are fire buttons. If you think of an Atari paddle, you get a paddle and a fire button. I think Mr Spinner has 2 buttons per spinner (not sure what games use the second button). I am using it with Atari paddles...

FYI, the paddle detection with Mr. Spinner was fixed in the latest version of Mister. The stock PaddleTwoControllersUSB firmware now works properly!

I think this was somewhat resolved in page 1 of this thread ...

Thanks, I will look into it. Just FYI, looking at the github for the Atari 2600 core, they mentioned the following ... Paddle It's recommended to use mr.Spinner for paddles. Supported options for paddle: "Paddle Btn" is pressed - mr.Spinner (or known controllers with integrated paddle/spinner) is used . "Stick Btn" is pressed - ...

That worked! Shows up as spinner/paddle in Super Breakout. A little jittery but likely needs to be cleaned again. Was this a simple edit? Just wondering if I should propose to make this change in the github project.

Thanks!

I just did the paddle buttons: DB9 Arduino Paddle 3 3 Paddle2 Btn 4 4 Paddle1 Btn 5 A0 Paddle1 Pot 7 VCC VCC 8 GND GND 9 A1 Paddle2 Pot I noticed the behavior in Windows. The paddles didn't work until I pressed the button. I did solder a wire from the open pot terminal to the black ground wire on the switch. I think I did this right but should prob...

Slein, thanks for the reply. I believe I have the same settings on the arduino code ... but just to be sure I opened a fresh version of the paddletwocontrolersUSB firmware and commented out PADDLE_EMU and left the rest as is. I loaded Super Breakout and when I plug in the paddles, I definitely don't get the same behavior. Actually, nothing happens ...

So I got Arkanoid running and set the input to Spinner. Still don't see any way to configure the paddles and they don't seem to work. Tried rebooting, holding in the button, etc. still no luck. Would you mind walking me through the exact steps I am supposed to do. The paddles do show up in Windows as a wheel and dial and I am able to calibrate both...

Hi, hoping to use the original Atari 2600 paddles with the 2600 core. I am not seeing a lot on whether this is possible and how to get this up and running, although on Github there is a reference to using paddles. Would also like to do the same with the C64 core eventually but I guess one thing at a time. Any help or direction would be appreciated....

Can this be used with the Atari 2600 core or does this just work with Arkanoid (certain cores)? Really just want this for the C64 and 2600 paddle games.

Thanks!

Anyone using Mr Spinner for paddle support? I setup and can get my Atari paddles to work fine in Windows. But on the Mister, it doesn't seem to even recognize them when I go through joystick setup. Not sure if this is an issue with the PaddleTwoControllersUSB code or if there is some special setup in Mister to get this working. Any help would be ap...

Any chance this is working on Mister. I am trying to build the PaddleTwoControllersUSB adaptor but can't seem to get Mister to recognize this as a controller. Windows joystick calibration sees it just fine. Pretty frustrating.
