CONFIGURE THE CONTROL PORTS
The original Atari 8-bit computers supported joysticks and paddles, with the last in the series, the 5200, using its own
proprietary analog stick controller.
The Game settings menu allows you to specify the controller type expected by the program, and is applied to all four joystick
ports. If you have selected the Atari 5200 model, then joystick and paddle options are not available.
If a game requires a Paddle or 5200 analog stick, then further options will be available to congure how the analog paddle
or 5200 stick is emulated when using a non-analog joystick or pad such as THECXSTICK. If you are using a third party
controller that has an analog stick, this control can be used directly as a paddle or 5200 analog stick input.
MAPPING THE CONTROLS
Once the game is congured as using joystick, paddle or 5200 stick controls, the connected THECXSTICK can be mapped
to have any control or action assigned to its direction stick or buttons.
The controller mapping for the game can be viewed and edited by selecting the Map controls option. This will show a
diagram of THECXSTICK and label each button with the current assigned action.
To edit the actions assigned to THECXSTICK directions and buttons, press
