Panther DC woes

[DCGX]

I probably could. I'll have to check the size, because it's a fold out. Otherwise I can take some pics and post them. There's not much in it, honestly. There's layouts for 'Quake III,' 'Half-Life' and 'Kiss Psycho Circus' and that's about it outside of warnings and copyrights.

Technically page 1 is the cover. The reverse in exactly the same, only in French.

Sweet! Thanks so much for this!

I've just gotten it fixed! Had to replace a wire. Broke 2 more wires free fixing that one. This thing is full of terrible soldering! As I'm writing this post another wire has come loose that seems to have disabled panther mode lol. Time to open it back up again. At least I fixed the original problem haha.

Madcatz for the win as usual

lol At least it's fixable.

I recently learned through a video on Youtube (Wired-Up Retro Vid #12)) that the Panther DC can be used in Panther mode on the Atari Anniversary Edition compilation. I used the trackball and the three buttons to play Missile Command, Centipede and Crystal Castles. The video recommended using the Panther upside down so the three buttons are closer to you. Just go to the controller options to configure. Works great!

I've got a different woe with mine. Most of the soft-touch rubber is breaking down and oozing out oil. It's disgusting. Also, the rubber gasket around the stick had dried to chalk so I cut it out. Age has not been kind to this thing.

That is awesome NDO. I'll have to add that to the list of compatible games!

Yea they seem to have their share of problems lol. I may cut out the rubber around the joystick as well as it's been shredding to bits. The rubber grip parts on the top of mine haven't started doing that yet thank god.

That is great to know, thanks! Too bad the compilation doesn't have a save feature.


So far my Panther hasn't been oozing anything, but my basement is pretty well climate controlled naturally. I'll have to keep an eye on it.

I found another game that works with the Panther DC. You can play 4 Wheel Thunder. The game has the option to remap the controls, including assigning steering to the trackball. I tried assigning acceleration and braking to the stick as well to give me a faux dual-analog feel. It doesn’t play great in this configuration. A better way to play is to assign gear changes to the hat-switch, steering to the stick, braking/acceleration to the triggers. Nitro and handbrake can be assigned to any of the remaining buttons (A, B, X, Y, C, D or Z).

You can play 4 Wheel Thunder.

thanks for the find, I checked with a GameCube controller, both sticks can be assigned to control
