I came to this topic because I also couldn't get JOY_FIRE2 to work on 5200 Defender. I guess since this hasn't been updated since 2009 it is a lost cause?
Thanks! Is there a similar forum to this one for something like the Nvidia Shield where people are contributing and learning about what the device(s) can do?
I guess I got my Wiz in 2009, and it launched me down a path of re-investment in my classic gaming hobby. I don't use it very often anymore, but it still has a nice clean screen and the battery holds a charge.
As a pure gamer in this community, I was wondering where the energy has gone. The...
Hey Thorax - I dunno if you are still around these forums, but to make a charging cable, I guess I'd have to cut the end of a USB cord, hopefully find 5 wires in there that I could identify as those that match up with the pinout, attach them and then I'd have my power cable?
This is from a discussion on the AtariAge website, but I thought it would be helpful for Caanoo or Wiz users who weren't familiar with the 2600. Unfortunately, you won't really be able to take much advantage of multiplayer games on the Wiz, but you can still do high score battles if you want ...
There is no savestate option in UAE4All. You must use the in game save options as if you were actually sitting in front of an Amiga. Create a blank .adf disk in Win UAE and then move it to your Wiz. When you are ready to save in-game then go to the menu and put the blank disk into drive 1...
Keep trying other games that are known to work. The compatability for that emulator is not very extensive. Try Oddworld and if you get the same behavior then maybe there is a configuration option that is wrong or another software problem
Without checking the compatability list, I'd venture to...
No, they do not all require a Bios
Mame comes to mind as an emulator that does not require a seperate bios, FCEU (NES) also does not require this, neither does 2600 or PocketSNES
I've had my Wiz since July and I've had 0 problems with it. I purchased it at ThinkGeek.com in the US.
Some users report problems with screen deterioration early in the life of the Wiz, but I haven't experienced that. Frankly, its not very expensive and I think you will get your money's worth...
Refunds come from retailers, so you are probably out of luck. You should investigate getting it repaired through GPH. I think you'll find their contact info on these boards. I bet ThinkGeek could provide information on how to contact them for repair as well.
If you don't want to mess with...
I believe someone posted that they tried at a lower firmware version, but a quick scan of this thread did not lead me to that.
There was another thread going on this topic too which is linked in this one. Perhaps they mentioned specifically downgrading the firmware.
edit: found in the Pocket...
at some point someone posted a volume button expose' on the Wiz on these forums. I seem to remember the volume button being just a single piece of plastic and when it breaks it needs to be replaced by another single piece.
You might have been able to just find a stiff piece of plastic the...
