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

[Amigadude]

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.

Yup power cycled and put a zipstik in port 2, pressing/double pressing/pressing loads as quick as possible does nothing the 9-pin ports don't appear in the controller settings.

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

I think my GS might be haunted, I power cycled a few times tried multiple joysticks in both ports and they were not showing up in the controller settings...

Up works on port 2?

[Amigadude]

Up works on port 2?

Yup tested with 2 joysticks UP works fine on port 2 but not on port 1

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:

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.

And after putting back together up now works on port 1

I'm gonna have to start making videos when it's not working...

It feels faster...might just be my imagination... the SD I put in was an expensive one I bought to solve issues I had with my GoPro 9 hero black camera

The resizing thing is good to know if I need to replace it in the the future

Off to enjoy the CD32 'talkie' version of simon the sorcerer on the GS
