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