exxos's Atari, Amiga & retro forum

Hi there,

I have been a long-time Atari user (from 8-bit days to 16-bit), but I still have problems. This is my stupidity, NOT the game designers nor the ones who created the ROM images (.ST format) for the hAtari and/or STEem (or whatever else is out there). How do I use the Xbox controller to play the game? I actually had difficulty even when the game was just in the arcades, so my ignorance continues. Any idea on how to do that?

Thanks.
P.S. Possibly the same could go for Space Ace as well, since they are similar games. If I have to set up my hAtari as a specific system to make it work best, let me know the configuration. I know not to have a "hard drive" attached and boot directly from the floppy disk.

If you really want to play Dragon's Lair for the Atari STe I would wait a while. SainT aka RetroHQ has an interesting project on the go.

Hatari Joystick config is F12 on the host PC. Xbox controller (in Windows) should show up automagically. It has to be connected to port 2.

You can use the number pad keys instead if you like. The manual with the keyboard keys is here :

It is being run from a custom cartridge port mass storage device but the plan is to migrate it to the very affordable SideCartridge Multi-Device
