CD32 compatible pad support

[arczi84]

It's a shame that not all pins in DB9 port are connected which makes this interface not working for all buttons in Cd32 compatible game pads.
I hope that full interface would be available in next revision and separate joy only extension is available to update for current v2 owners.

What pins are you specifically referring too?

What is not working?

[arczi84]

All 7 buttons in Cd32 gamepad are not working only 2 works. Second button is treated as UP.

I haven't got a CD32 joypad to test/check.

What program did you test it with?

Please use Amiga Test Kit - that has a CD32 mode.

Please can you try testing with Amiga Test Kit on the CDTV.

I've made a test on Amiga Test Kit and only B1 works and the second button is UP. śr., 22 sty 2025 o 17:09 solarmon ***@***.***> napisał(a):

I assume a normal joystick works as expected, and it is only FIRE2 (and the rest of the CD32 joypad buttons) that is not working as expected?

The joystick/mouse adapter than comes with the RGBtoHDMI CDTV v2 solution does map all nine pins for each port.

I don't have a CD32 joypad to test with, but my understanding is that the CD32 joypad use pin 5 to determine whether to be in normal/dump joystick mode, or 7-button joystick mode. See https://www.mrdictionary.net/PSCD32/diary/2019_08_09.htm

Have you tried using ATK to test both ports, in CD32 mode? And I assume a normal joystick and mouse works as expected in both ports?

If you have a logic probe, you can check what pin 5 is doing - whether it is high or low.
