MalakZero Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Hey guys, I recently got a small box of 2600 games and included was this odd little adapter part. It was rubber banded around a copy of Omega Race so I got my hopes up for a second but, so far, all I can get it to do is have it disable the joystick's ability to input "left." I have aptly named this add-on "Zoolander." Picture quality is low, so printed on the adapter is "pointmaster fire control" on one side and "discwasher" on the other. Can anyone help me ID what this part is and what its used for? Quote "Mmmrrrrrrhhhh.....game.....gooooood....." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MalakZero Posted May 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 I had one that webt with my point master joystick until i put it in the rjb and willie picked it out Does it only work with that brand of controller? I'm trying to figure out why mine is causing this adverse effect.. Quote "Mmmrrrrrrhhhh.....game.....gooooood....." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmjustin6 Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 Hmm you know i dont know. I never tried it on any other joystick, but it said on it "for use with the point master" MalakZero 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should work with any joystick I would think. My guess would be that it's broken, or possibly just needs to have the pins cleaned.
