By the way, has anyone bought the new Atari CX30+ paddles?
I'm interested in them since the plastic on my original paddles is brittle after those 40 years. Hopefully they are improved or at least the same as the originals.

Re: Atari 7800 / 2600
Sure: Atari7800_input_04d8_f947_v3.zip (This is for the PDL adaptor; I had this working just fine with the D9 as well but was getting jitter so switched to using the PDL version) Thank you! I renamed your file to match my D9 and the MGL name. Then I got the first paddle axis and the second paddle button working as the first paddle. The other axis ...

Re: Atari 7800 / 2600
Sorry, the P2 paddle button used to be labeled "Thumb" during mapping, but I just ran through it to check and it appears it was renamed to "Paddle Button" at some point (probably to make it clearer). In any case, the "Fire 2" button should be skipped as that is intended for the 2nd button on the 7800, and the p2 paddl...

Re: Atari 7800 / 2600
I tried the mappings file before I went into the button mappings.
I don't recall a "thumb" option to map, but I'll check again.
Anyway, it should have worked with at least one paddle, as I was mapping the button to Fire 1.

Re: Atari 7800 / 2600
Yesterday I finally installed the D9 Mister firmware and tried again. It was a major waste of time! The mapping files didn't work. I mapped them through the menu assigning paddle buttons to A and B. I changed the core inputs to paddles and the option to have two paddles in the same controller. I mapped the paddle buttons to Fire1 through the core m...

Thank you very much.
I'll give D9 another try since MiSTer doesn't support the spinner I bought.

Re: Atari 7800 / 2600
Could anyone share the D9 firmware that supports MiSTer?
The author pulled it down before I could download it.
And now his whole website seems to be gone.
I may not have the jitter problem since I'm using a Mean Well power source with the ground pin.

Re: Atari 7800 / 2600
Was the 7800 core with Paddle SNAC support ever released?
There are some SNAC adaptors around with a switch to change between paddles and other analog inputs, so I guess there is some way to use it.

Re: Atari 7800 / 2600
I don't know about SNAC, I don't have any. But regarding D9, it could be solved on the mister side with a mister.ini entry to split a device in two based on its VID/PID. It would probably need some code specific to D9, as each button would have to go with one specific axis, and maybe some detection to do that only when the paddles are connected (jo...

Re: Atari 7800 / 2600
Therein lies the problem approaching it from that end. A bespoke D9 firmware that a) doesn't work like real paddles do and b) isn't compatible with anything else because of a) isn't appealing. The current way D9 works is not like real paddles either. It detects if a joystick is connected and map its joystick directions to analog X and Y axis. The ...

Re: Atari 7800 / 2600
I also emailed him. He said all the switches combinations are already used and another alternative firmware would be another thing for him to maintain. He wouldn't actually need a MiSTer to implement the changes. It is just a matter of presenting the two paddles as two different controllers to the system instead of a single one. I think this is the...

Besides setting VIC to zero, it also sets IT to Game mode.

Re: 1920x1200 & 1920x1440 Aspect Ratio Detection
I finally found out the root of this problem: MiSTer is sending a wrong VIC configuration in the AVI InfoFrame. Apparently, the automatic VIC detection of the HDMI chip (ADV7513) fails when we set resolutions or frequencies above its specifications. According to its specs, the limit is 165 MHz and 1920x1080. When MiSTer is set to 1920x1440, the VIC...

Re: Atari 7800 / 2600
SNAC doesn't work for paddles because they require analog input. There is a workaround using the ADC In, but it is not supported by the 7800 core. There is more info on this topic some pages behind.

I'm aware. The issues I mentioned are specific of the SMS/Game Gear core. Though they are also not two systems mashed together as Game Gear runs Master System games natively.

On a second thought, regarding the settings, then I can see that we may have issues like:

- different scanlines/shadow masks/etc. settings for SMS and Game Gear

Re: Atari 7800 / 2600
You're probably right. I think it says "Menu" when assigning the buttons.
But I remember reading something like "Hold OSD to cancel" during the assignment, probably because the MiSTer button says OSD.
Anyway, any Bluetooth or USB controller with Menu assigned or the OSD button on MiSTer should work for skipping buttons.

Re: Atari 7800 / 2600
Another controller in my scenario is a DualShock 4 connected through Bluetooth. I usually play Atari with the original controllers (assigned to Player 1) but with the Dualshock (assigned to Player 2) to use for the console buttons (SELECT, START, etc.) and the OSD. I guess it can be assigned to Player 3 in the case of two-player games, but I never ...

Re: Atari 7800 / 2600
You can skip buttons by pressing OSD on MiSTer or another controller. This way you can also map only the paddle button of any paddle. However, at least in my case, only the second paddle button will work even after mapped.

However, this only works if the second paddle is assigned as 1A. If ...
