  Mysticmaus

   Hi everyone!

   Just received my THEC64 , it is really nice! , but i have some problems
   with the joystick , i am experiencing some input lag ... [2]:(
   When i press a button or go up or down , there is a delay of almost second
   before it happens on screen ... is this normal?? , because it is really
   hard to play like this..

   Let me know.

   No, that isn't normal behaviour. Is this just in the user interface (the
   Carousel and the menus), just in the games, only in certain games or in
   everything? Are you able to plug the joystick into a desktop computer and
   check that it is working correctly from there? Any additional information
   to help us troubleshoot this for you will be useful.

   [3]nello64 - Are you able to elaborate so we can help? Which games are you
   having difficulty with?

   Well i still have the problem , in the game menu everything is almost fine
   but the input lag starts when i start and play a game ...

   I tested more than 10 games, they all have the same input lag from the
   joystick.

   My TV is on the fastest setting for games.

   I honestly thought of them all, I also changed several power supplies, it
   seemed too strange to put a bad product on the market, so I saw several TV
   menus until I found "game mode" and immediately the lag is gone. Check
   well in the sub-menu of your TV or test your c64 on another TV. (sorry for
   my bad English).

   Something to try, set your screen settings to pixel perfect. This might
   help a little as there will be less image processing happening.
