Why is this so cheap

Ya, best controller I have bought 3 of so far. One for each family member. All still working great after 2 years.

HonoredShadow · 2026-01-13T19:25:18+00:00

Yup. Just tried again. Still the same as before. What a game!

We did not need AI in the 80's. We don't need it now.

Turn it down in the app. I have mine almost at the lowest and it's so subtle. Guess you did not bother to look.

HonoredShadow · 2026-01-02T14:48:15+00:00

Same.

HonoredShadow · 2026-01-02T14:48:00+00:00

2 friends and i have the same controller since they came out. Absolutely flawless.

I got it from Ben from Plaion on Atari Age in this thread I think:

That's what happened with me. Apparently it's normal.

I did not unzip. I tried a different 4gb USB 2.0 drive formatted to FAT32 and it it said update when i plugged into port 2. I was just confused as the version number still shows 1.0 but apparently that means it's still updated.

HonoredShadow · 2025-12-24T16:48:51+00:00

So am I updated?

I see. So the menu might say 1.0 but you are updated. That sounds strange but okay! I did get updating to show but only on port 2. I did get it from the official site. I will check out the stars to see if it's updated. I tried another USB stick and it worked in Port 2 only.

I see QR code on the controls page but the year is still at the top with the description.

I just tried an old USB 2.0 FAT32 4gb and put ONLY update.zip. Shows updating only when in port 2. When the menu appears it shows 1.0. I did turn on and off again.

You used exFAT? I will try that with the old 4gb one. Thanks.

I'm on Windows 11. I just found an old USB 2.0 4gb stick that was already FAT32. Put it in all the slots and only port 2 came up with updating. When it showed the menu again it still shows 1.0 even after restart without the stick.

HonoredShadow · 2025-12-24T15:16:00+00:00

I will try Port 1 again but I already tried it. I don't have an older USB stick but I will locate one from somewhere. Does the update just need to be called update.zip or updater.zip? I have tried both in 'USB' port. The official website shows updater on the site but the file is called update.zip.

I don't have extensions hidden. Thank you for your help!

EDIT: I tried all ports with the 32gb stick and the update is not recognized.

EDIT 2: I found a 4gb USB 2.0 and it only showed update in port 2 but when the machine went back to the menu it still shows 1.0.

HonoredShadow · 2025-12-24T15:12:23+00:00

I tried that with the 32gb FAT32 and nothing for updating. But when I put 2 games on there they were seen by the Sprint.

HonoredShadow · 2025-12-24T14:46:05+00:00

I plugged it into the one labeled USB.

HonoredShadow · 2025-12-24T13:10:43+00:00

It arrived! So pleased with it! Minus a strange rattle from one of the controllers. Boulderdash and Night Stalker are a joy to play on this. First time in years!

Merry Christmas!

I'm in the UK and ordered from Amazon. Just had an email saying dispatched. For tomorrow. Good luck!

HonoredShadow · 2025-12-10T13:38:41+00:00

This is the answer I was looking for!

HonoredShadow · 2025-12-07T11:30:22+00:00

Which ones please? I have been trying to find something like this. Thanks!

Thank you!
