</div>Oops! I meant SIO2SD. The connector that the SIO cable goes into<br>
(on the SIO2SD device end of the cable) has one loose wire.<br>
I convinced it to work again, but it really needs soldering.<br>
(Really, I need a damned case for the thing. :^/ )<br>
<br>
The 2600 has, in the past, had some issues with joystick directions not<br>
working, which confuses the heck out of people at these events. :)<br>
<br>
I don't know a lick about hardware, or repairing any of this stuff,<br>
so would love help. (Of course, worst case, players can jiggle the<br>
joystick plug and it usually works fine :) )<br>
