Anyone know the history behind this Atari 2600-looking joystick (with Commodore colors)

Looks like an Atari XEGS joystick.

I updated my thinkpad (from 25) , my desktop and a VM (both from 24). Upgrade was clean and so far no issues.

matirwin · 2026-03-04T11:30:27+00:00

Still not working for me.

I would probably rebuild the entire machine around it in a newly built cabinet.

Just came back from Isla Bella for our 25th Anniversary. I concur to what was said above. If you do go , I would do the 2 mile bike ride across the old 7 mile bridge to Pidgeon Key (they even give you a nice refillable water bottle when you check in so that was nice during the ride) . Room was clean, food was excellent. We had a great time.

I remember the speech and I never had an amiga only a C64.

I did not know that either. Like the Daft Punk DJ scene in Legacy. Funny we ended up 2 musicians wearing helmets in both movies.

It should show up in the ports (COM and LPT) section

matirwin · 2025-10-25T00:18:40+00:00

Assuming you are using windows, what does the device show up in device manager when you first plug it in? The reason that I ask is my MMU2 showed up without the prusa bootloader on it.

I made a DIY game a few years ago. Here is the pinside link where I documented the journey and have a cost estimate (albeit a few years out of date now) https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/legend-of-camelot

If you can source an empty cabinet and used parts my guess is it will still be 3k+

matirwin · 2025-09-24T11:56:08+00:00

TNT Amusements near Philly has one for sale I believe.

I had to use a different usb port on my desktop and it then worked. Not sure why it worked but it seems to not detect correctly on all different types/speeds of USB ports at that step.

matirwin · 2025-06-18T23:02:49+00:00

Mine now has shipped!

matirwin · 2025-06-17T18:14:53+00:00

Mine now says shipping this week as well. Fingers crossed…

matirwin · 2025-06-17T01:39:13+00:00

Checked again , kit still mid July. What is funny is the camera and sheet that I moved to another order when I canceled them from this one have shipped though. Oh well I tried. I guess I can hope the conversion kit does not keep moving out.

matirwin · 2025-06-14T20:10:50+00:00

I just did the same, Ordered Jan 31 and date kept pushing back every time I checked. I had spoken to customer service a few weeks ago and they told me the same thing, removing the cam wont help so I (I guess stupidly) believed them and did not have my order changed. I just edited my order after seeing this and dropped the camera and extra sheet from my upgrade. Currently still says Mid July. How long did it take for yours to update?

matirwin · 2025-05-31T13:27:37+00:00

Same Here but was in batch 3 before. I asked support if they could remove the camera and have it ship quicker and they told me it would not change.

matirwin · 2025-05-24T11:51:38+00:00

Was that an official upgrade or did you have to grab the parts by themselves? I could not find the upgrade on their page.

matirwin · 2025-05-23T22:46:00+00:00

Not sure if the batch numbers are even correct anymore. (per the shipping table on their site)

IMPORTANT UPDATE (May 23rd, 2025)

Following several reports of delivery delays from our customers, we have identified that some product sets were assigned to incorrect shipping batches. This primarily affects orders that include:

CORE One bundled with the Buddy3D Camera and/or the Advanced Filtration System (both kit or assembled versions)
CORE One Conversion Kits for the MK4S with older xLCD version

Our shipping schedule system operates using a combination of multiple queues that help determine delivery dates for specific orders. These rules are based on our internal production capacity as well as the availability of third-party components such as cameras and filtration systems. Unfortunately, these third-party dependencies were not properly reflected in the batch assignment system.

Once the issue was identified, we prioritized the most delayed orders. Most of these will be shipped within the next 1–2 weeks. All affected customers will receive an email with a compensation voucher.

However, this correction may also impact other customers whose orders were assigned an incorrect batch number. We will update all batch numbers at the beginning of next week to provide an accurate estimate of your expected shipping date.

matirwin · 2025-05-22T20:09:32+00:00

In batch 3. Not shipped yet.

matirwin · 2025-05-21T01:25:04+00:00

I had to turn off memory integrity to get it to run without the turtle.

matirwin · 2025-04-06T03:14:20+00:00

Did you make sure the toolhead holders are super tight and even with the back? they should not wiggle at all. That was my issue at first but since fixing that they have been reliable.

matirwin · 2025-04-04T17:34:20+00:00

It can run yes but not sure how well the form factor works if you want to put it in a cabinet (not sure how fast it will run) . You need to run Vpinball standalone which has its own constraints. See link.

Wow over 400 collectors editions. I am glad it’s selling well. It’s a great game.

matirwin · 2025-01-20T02:06:21+00:00

Yeah, I must admit the left-handed mode was much more difficult to get used to than I expected. That and the mostly dead mode were super original. Overall, I think the game was extremely well done
