Title: Vaus Controller Issue Blinking Screen
Post by: rubinhomoto on March 01, 2025, 09:02:53 am
Hi Guys,

Finally i get the Vaus controller to play Arkanoid, but it has a odd behavior when a I try to use.
First the potentiometer was not good, so i fix them clean and re-soldering.
But when i start to play and if I need to press the button, the screen blinking each time that i press the button.
Once i press, the screen turn black and go back, this is bothering when i get the power up that allow to fire.
Anyone got this or saw this problem?
I'm doubt because in the moment i have just a Everdrive N8 with arkanoid inside, the problem can be the flashcart or the button? Thank you.

Arkanoid works fine on my Everdrive. It got to be something wrong with the paddle. Check that the button isn't short-circuiting something it shouldn't.

Try a different region's copy of Arkanoid matching the Vaus you have. I saw that behavior using a Japanese Vaus on US Arkanoid.
