Stelladaptor Atari 2600 Controller to USB Interface
« on: March 12, 2012, 11:49:36 pm »
Has anyone used Stelladaptor 2600 Controller to USB Interface before im thinking of getting one to use the 2600 paddles for Kaboom and driving controls Ill be using it in a cab. The main reason why i realy want to use it in a cab  is because i have a mini caberet and just have sticks and a few buttons and specifically want to play Kaboom for the 2600. I was wondering whoever has this adaptor, have you played Kaboom and is it possible to play it with the driving controls because i used a regular spinner before and it worked. Atari 2600 paddles are inconsistent and if i could i would rather play with the driving controls.

I haven't tried the setup you are describing, but I believe the Atari driving controller has very low resolution - like 16 pulses per revolution. I think that will give you terrible performance for any paddle game. Curious: are you using the Stella emulator? Also - have you tried cleaning the pots on your paddle controllers (or replacing them?)

im using the stella emu but didnt buy the adaptor yet. This is the reason i posted here i needed some feedback as per the paddles vs the driving controller Lke I said I used a spinner already GGG turbo 2 to be exact it worked ok but if i remember playing kaboom with paddles it was a different feel so if anyone is using the paddles via the stella adaptor please let me know or driving controller
