I should try my other adaptor now that you mentioned it and see if it behaves the same. I can't say I've had that issue (or any other problems) with the D9, it seems to work consistently for me with 2600 and Mega Drive controllers at least. I just got a Retronic Design adapter, and it works fine. I have two of them, they both do the same thing. After a while it starts working again, until it flakes out again. Even moving it to a Windows PC the problem is there. Periodically keys 4,5,6 and the right half of the disc will all stop working. It's quite maddening!Īgain, this is with a 2600daptor D9 and original Intellivision controller (I've made sure to press 0 at power on to enable Intellivision controller mode on the D9). I've deleted all mapping configs for the controller and tried remapping from scratch, tried powering on MiSTer with and without controller plugged in, but no luck.

Then somehow after doing a few other things, it has reverted to 8 directions and I cannot find a way to enable 16 directions again. Ok, I had this working properly with 16 directions while testing in handdemo2. Maybe you should update the adapter's firmware? Not shown is the Ultimate PC Interface which works exactly like the D9, with all 16 directions. Shown in the video are the Retronic Design adapter and the 2600-daptor D9. more info on this here: Possibly depends on the game? I could have sworn more positions than that register.

Maybe this needs to be checked against an actual Intellivision.

you will then see a 2 (NE) then a 0 (E), then a Uppercase E (SE), Uppercase C (S), Uppercase A (SW), 8 (W), 6 (NW) - so only 8 directions, not 16. Using the ultimate pc interface and an intellivision flashback controller I'm only seeing eight directions register: Going slowly around the disc with handdemo2 running, starting at the top, you should see the number 4 (N), continue clockwise pressing the outer edge of the disc. what do you have as far as controller / interface to the Mister? Handdemo2 only registering 8 directions here.
