Re: DaemonBite/Arduino Pro Micro - not enough inputs?? (Atari 2P arcade controller)

Unfortunately it appears that Pro Micro does not have enough inputs for 2 player controls plus trackball or spinner without additional kludge circuitry. Pro Micro only has 18 inputs. 2 sticks plus one trackball or spinner now occupies 12. Coin, 1P Start, 2P Start buttons take 3 more. Leaving only 3 pins available for game buttons. Disappointing. I ...

Re: Battlezone

Apologies for the necrobump, and please pardon my potential ignorance on the topic, but is there some reason why the directional controls on this Battlezone core weren't made to utilize the left and right analog thumb sticks on the PS4 controllers? I thought this kind of control was already possible on MiSTer without having to rely on a future PSX ...

Thanks also for that link on the USB-...

Re: DaemonBite/Arduino Pro Micro - not enough inputs?? (Atari 2P arcade controller)

Hi thorr, Thanks for the reply. It looks like you and I are trying to achieve some of the same goals for MiSTer. GroovyGameGear has a nice looking push-pull spinner but it is 2x the price of the GRS, and I haven't inquired yet about the direct pin situation for their version. I purchased a 2600-daptor D9 for my Atari paddles and cannot get them to ...

DaemonBite/Arduino Pro Micro - not enough inputs?? (Atari 2P arcade controller)

Greetings all, I've been lurking here for a few months after getting my first MiSTer in the summer, decided it was finally time to join the party. I've tried hard to research this situation before asking for advice. I have this Atari arcade controller that I can use to a certain extent with the MiSTer: https://www.microcenter.com/product/623128/ata...
