Atari VCS Wireless Classic Joystick

Open sean-gugler opened this issue 5 months ago • 1 comments

This controller, released in 2021, is a nifty paddle / joystick combo. When the stick is deflected, it's an 8-way digital stick; when the stick is twisted, it's an analog positional paddle. Windows 10 recognizes it natively as a "Dial" and "Point of View Hat" with five buttons.

I'd love to see this supported by AppleWin! I tried the AntiMicroX controller mapper but it either doesn't work or I don't know how to use it properly. I wonder if AppleWin would have to migrate from WinMM to DirectInput for this.

The official product link is here. I've also marked up a promotional photo to show the button layout. https://atari.com/products/classic-joystick
