exxos's Atari, Amiga & retro forum

Hmm, I don't know what to say. I tested my switcher some more now and it's acting up and not working as it should. 2 mouse connected work almost right, but mouse and a joystick all sort of weird stuff is happening. I tried playing Bubble Bobble with 2 players and it did not work.

Maybe just needs pull-ups to 5V on the firebutton.

So I will not be selling my switcher at the moment as it's not working. Sorry again.


The KMTech you linked in the first post is for Amiga, so will not work on Atari, but this will and it's located in the UK:

I'm not a Amiga guy, but I thought there was just 1 signal swapped between ST and Amiga ? So would have assumed it would work otherwise ?

Yeah, I haven't looked into it, but it's something like that. Probably isn't much to get it working for Atari.

Amiga pinout here

I have examined the two pinouts and they look pin compatible but when I tried them in the switcher I bought, the Atari mouse works fine, the joystick switched ok but does not control the Llama in Llamatron at all.
Maybe its time to play port swapping and see what works best?
OK I tried mouse in left hand port of switcher, joystick in RH port , booted up started Llamatron fine then switched ok to Joystick but no directional control.
tried swapping the ports over results the same.
.
Tried the switcher in joystick port and it does not control the Llama at all
