COMMAND CONTROL
Analog Joystick for Atari® 5200™
CONNEC ION: Your WICO Analog Joystick is designed for use in con
junction with either the WICO Keypad for the Atari 5200 (see instruc
tions, opposite page), or with the keypad portion of the system’s original
controller. When used with the original keypad, the joystick connects
easily to both the system and keypad via the included Y-cord adaptor.
Just plug the WICO unit and original Atari controller into the two male
ends of the Y-cord. hen plug the female end into the game control
port, and you’re ready to play.
OPERA ION: Use the WICO unit exactly as you would the joystick portion
of the original Atari controller. he WICO joystick works similarly, but
provides two advantages for game play:
SPRING RE URN/FREE POSI IONING MODES - Your joystick
handle can be set to center automatically (Spring Return) or to
“float free” (Free Positioning) by using the mode selection switches
on the bottom of the unit (see diagram). Only select modes when
the joystick is in the center position — unit damage may otherwise
result.
RIM CON ROLS - All WICO Analog Joysticks provide linear rim
Controls for each axis (see X, Y as molded on control base).
Linear rim Controls allow user to adjust cursor position for most
efficient use of Spring Return Mode. By sliding either or both trim
controls, joystick center position and corresponding screen posi
tion can be easily adjusted.
FIRE BU ONS: he two base-mounted fire buttons will accommodate
all firing functions of existing Atari 5200 software. Other game control
functions, i.e. game start, reset and pause, are controlled by the keypad.
