I think you may easily find paddles on Ebay for 5/10 Euros/Dollars, it's a good investment for a paddle games lover

Have you tried Pong ?
I wrote this game along with Nippur72 and he wrote a routine to reduce (eliminate) the paddle jittery in software and works very well.
Except Pong, all other paddle games have the jittery paddle syndrome for me too

Think, you're right....5-10 Euro/Dollars is not to much....
Maybe i find some Paddles for this price.....
I'll take a look for it

btw....Pedro has 3 Paddels.......hmm.....2 Paddels are enough, right

Aha!! I have a paddle game that I can play on my lovely wee Vic! Chuffed to bits! I knew if I left the paddles beside my computer for long enough they'd be useful once more.

I never bothered trying Pong because none of the older games worked - all these years and I could have had a paddle game...

This code is awesome - is there a way to retro-fit this code into some of the old games like Clowns (hint, hint!)? Or maybe the code could be used in Omega Fury!

@ Vicman - I have 3 Vics and FOUR paddles!

That makes me a little bit enviously

The sources are on-line so any new game may use the same technique while for the old (cart) games you need to check if the new routines can be used and you need to find space too, so very difficult.

In the last version of VICE, the option "enable paddles" exist, but I can´t run properly the games than uses paddles.

I activated the option, and move the mouse for move the paddle, but the motion is erratic and the control is impossible.

Some one can play paddle games with VICE 2.2?, and if yes, what configuration is needed for use the paddles?

It works fine for me, but it can be quite sensitive... I don't have to move the mouse much to get the ship (Sea Wolf), bat (Super Smash) or target (Star Post) to move or rotate.

There is nothing to configure at the moment, If you enable paddles emulation, mouse left/right moves the Paddle1 and mouse up/down moves the Paddle 2 nothing else.
Is not the perfect way to emulate paddles but is better then nothing and it works quite well on my tests with Windows XP/7.

Paddle support in WinVICE is therefore no better than it used to be.

You can turn it on but you are completely dependent on the mouse speed setting, you can't specify which axis of your mouse is tied to which paddle and you can't tell WinVICE to use a specific joystick axis as a paddle instead of the mouse.

This could be an option, not that it helps with VICE though:

I don't really understand why proper paddles aren't supported in Vice with the Stelladapter et al. I'd be happy to donate a pair along with an adapter if it meant it could be added. It would be a way to circumvent the jittery paddle syndrome for older games that's for sure.

I actually have a couple of feature requests. Is there somewhere that one can post suggestions?
