So, has anybody tried the A500mini mouse with their V4 yet? It would be super cool if it worked!

I've tried the mouse and joy pad. The mouse pointer barely moves. The Joy Pad appears to work OK. Tested it with a couple of games.

I should have added. If you really want to use the mouse, it works well with the MouSTer adapter.

Are the joypad keys mapped correctly like the CD32 keys, or are they reversed ?

I've seen a few reviews and the diagonals of the D-Pad don't look good, what experience do you have with them ?

I'm only a casual gamer. From the limited time with the A500 Mini Joy Pad, for me the one from Apollo gives a much better playing experience. I got the A500 mini only out of curiosity and just wanted to see if the Mouse and Joy Pad would actually work on my Vampire SA. As to the quality it's probably best to check out the multitude of YouTube videos.

I was testing beta cores on my SA, but flashed it with the stable release 8736 to try with Coffin R60. Just tried BC Kid and it's working with the 2 button option enabled in Apollo 8.1 and Coffin.

Thats a tragic shame (hopefully fixed one way or another soon) .. but someone did post if you use a mouSTer with the usb mouse .. it can (via db9 port) .. though they are out of stock at the moment ..
