I really hope that we will be able to have:
a copy of the 2 floppy disks (the game and the drivers)
The only downloadable version of the game on the internet is currently a beta version. the drivers are not available on the internet at this time.
And the holy grail of course would be to have a...
Hello,
I'm still working on it but I had less time to look into the issue. After the ATARI joystick cable, I found an old amiga kraft joystick on ebay that I repaired (axis problem), modify the power supply of the potentiometers to make it compatible with my Arduino board and my Macintosh plus...
Arcade Adapter/Mac Man 1.1
Joystick adapter and arcade game. Pros:
Opens a new market for joystick-compatible soft-
ivarei easy to use: good graphics and speed. Cons:
Game lacks originality and variety\ List price:
$29. Requires: Arcade Adapter, 128K; Mac Man,
512K: joystick. Copy protection...
awesome !!! thanks to you.
I looked at the code. Maybe it will be easier to crack the game to delete the check :ROFLMAO:
I have the impression that the adapter sold with Macman does not convert the signal received, it is the drivers integrated into the Macman game which does it. In other words...
it will be so great !!
another idea: press all the buttons simultaneously:
-high
-down
-LEFT
-RIGHT
--> which is not possible to do with a joystick or a mouse
I'm going to make a second test arduino with several combinations to see
Me too, maybe the joystick centers itself when plugged in with the official adapter?
I'm going to continue to dig into the subject on the software side...
I just finalized the adapter. It allows you to connect old Atari joysticks from the 80s. I don't despair of being able to play Macman with it one day. For now I'm already enjoying Arkanoid!!! Thank you again for your help.
Hello
I just finished the connections and I'm trying to modify your program to take into account that I have 4 switches and not 2 potentiometers.
I manage to move the mouse in all directions but it moves very slowly. Horrible!
How can I change the default speed?
Thank you again for your help...
Thank you very much, it's already clearer in my mind.
I have a joystick for atari 2600 that I would like to run on my mac plus by making an adapter similar to the tinkerboy db9.
Unless there is a simpler solution.
I am open to everything -:)
Did you write a tutorial to build one?
Regarding...
there is two subject :
1. detection of the adapter by the game
2. the compatibility of a joystick Atari on Mac (with a simple adapter pin to pin)
for the 2 I read this plan (approximately the same as the mouse)

If I try...
I don't know how to launch the debugger. I tried to search in resedit to see if there was not a hidden information. Is there any software to advise me?
Knowing that apparently just plugging in the adapter (without the joystick) is enough to allow the computer to detect it.
Macman is not the only compatible game.
Apache strike from the company silicon beach software and surely Dark castle too. There is therefore a strong interest in finding a solution to redo this adapter.
I have macman, a macplus, an Atari joystick. I would like try to recreate this adapter.
So I use this plan :

I Launch the game.
When the message show to connect your joystick or click to continue I deconnect the mouse and I connect my adapter and the...
