DIY version, worked fine after a capacitor was added to data pin output to remove shift register glitches.

Wow that is cool! Too bad I am too clumsy to make something like this. If anyone is thinking about making a batch for resale, count me in for the pre-order ;)

We need more games for paddles!
Are there only the two Arkanoid games that take a use of paddles?
~~Funny fact I did't knew: The Arkanoid2 cartridge plays on MSX and MSX2 in different versions.~~
Edit: That's not working, I got confused about to much cartridges on my table.

Are you sure? If I run Arkanoid 2 on an MSX1, I get only a black screen.

I tried get the files but seems it was deleted while ago.
Do you have the files about the patch and the Eagle?

The patch code is a basic program, look for the comments at the end of the article. I'll fix the links.

You are right, Manuel, that's not working, I got confused about to much cartridges on my table.
