User questions & answers
Question: | Any chance this will work with a Commodore C |
Answer: | Absolutely will work for a C64, it is a Chinese knockoff of the classic Atari 2600 joystick with the 9-pin port. I use it to play C64 games on an emulator all the time. |
Question: | Will this work on the atari flashback 7 101 built in games...for replacement of the master wireless joystick? Thank you |
Answer: | I don't know anything about the flash back system. These joysticks are a recreation of the original Atari joystick. They are not wireless and they do not have any extra buttons that might control extended features. Check your owners manual on whether original Atari joysticks will work with your system. If they can be used then these can be used. |

Answer: | Yes. I bought this controller because the original one broke. It's stiff at first, but once u break it in.. works great. |

User questions & answers
Question: | How long is the USB cord |
Answer: | 0.3M is the standard length but sometimes they can vary. Will work fine with any standard usb extension cable such as these https://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-22AWG-Extension-Cable-Female/dp/B019DZ7U2S |
Question: | Would this work on switch? Seems like it should |
Answer: | Sorry, I have not yet tested on the Switch but I really doubt it will work yet. We will likely add support for Switch in 7th gen units later this year. Now shipping 5th gen units that have c64mini/maxi support added. |
Question: | Where can you download xp drivers for this |
Answer: | Sorry, I do not have any windows XP or Windows 7 drivers so it not officially supported on these older Windows but I would be glad to try to help as I know a few others were able to get it to work with windows 7. The two methods that I have heard might help are: 1. Other usb drivers might conflicting so try: Go to device manager and uninstall every HID device, mouse, keyboard and then rebooted and attached the device. Windows will reinstall drivers for traditional mice and keyboard and then came up with a "unknown device". uninstall that. Do a scan for new hardware. It should then recognize the device. 2. You can also try: https://www.driverscape.com/download/arduino-leonardo The internals of the unit uses an Pro Micro and this is all I have seen. Let me know how it goes if you ever try it. |
Question: | Will this work with theC64maxi or mini |
Answer: | actually even with 5th gen device, it seems on latest firmware of mini you will have to figure out how to do the mappings for the u/d/left/right. I was on mini firmware 1.1 and it was working and after mini firmware was upgraded to current release (4.6), only the fire button works. So even on 5th gen, some more work is needed. If anyone else figures it our, let me know. Sorry. |
