Recently picked up a really nice Deluxe Joystick still in the box, and I cant get the darn thing working. Trying to track down if it's the stick or the computer. When I plug it into my 1000SX the fire buttons work fine but the stick wont respond.
I ended up running the basic program:
When I do this it wont read a higher value than 2. Full top left is 2, 2 and bottom right is 0, 0. Its very reliable reading 0-2 but that's all I get. Took it apart and checked the pinout, it's all wired correctly and has the correct pots, I also cleaned them and the port with dioxit, no luck. Could this be an issue with the computer itself? Any way of testing that without getting another joystick?
I ended up running the basic program:
Code:
10 PRINT STICK(0), STICK(1)
20 GOTO 10
