9-pin ports seem to have died - Fixed itself!!

[F0LLETT]

Configured the GS to use my Master system joystick in port 1 (double click fire to get port to show) and started Rick Dangerous, up wasn't working so I tried two of my zipstiks still no up... decided to reconfigure to use the second 9-pin port and now the 9-pins are not showing up in the preferences

Reconfigure? How are you doing this?
Just removing it from port one to port two and pressing pressing fire few times should be all it needs.

EDIT: Just tried it again and now both ports work... just have the original problem that UP doesn't work on GAME 1 port

Up works on port 2?

i would test with a different game after a fresh reboot

it could be the way that particular game is using the port

also see this guy's video. he got his working:
Another video review today:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDFUKLfZ3Hs

Problem is, he has it working on port 2.

On side note on video. Both ports are marked as GAME 1 / 2, not MOUSE. So mice 9 pin will not work on it.
We are looking at a driver being written.

Tested a couple of different joysticks in game & on the menu system, up works in the right port but not in the left port... nothing obvious looking at the soldering apart from a lot of flux... the wifi antenna was lodged under the left port though...

Currently imaging the 64GB card, gonna try writing that to a spare 256GB and expanding the partition in linux (PiMiga4.0 x86 distro... I can't remember which linux distro it's based on...)
...that worked I... I think... is there somewhere I can check storage??

Seems faster with the new mSD card in it...

The 64GB had 600MB of unallocated space at the end... I guess that is because the definition of 64GB varies by manufacturer??

I PM'ed you.

Also, you dont need to put in another machine, as it should resize automatically. Not sure how its faster, considering sd is rated at 100mb's read/write.
