| MAC Plus Sad Face 03c510 | |
| Posted by: myequation on 2016-10-04 06:55:34 Tried using a joystick (first time) on my Macintosh Plus today. The Mac rebooted when moving the joystick position. Now it boots to a Sad Face icon and error code 03c510. I was reading this page but I do not understand how to decipher my error code.: http://www.gla.ac.uk/~gwm1h/Error_Codes/Sad_Mac_Codes.html Any help would be appreciated. | |

The only joysticks which will work with a Mac /edit/ pre-USB / are ones made for a Mac. If you've somehow plugged another type of joystick into the back of your Plus, there's every chance you've fried something. | |

If you've somehow plugged another type of joystick into the back of your Plus, there's every chance you've fried something.Basically this with a db-9 connector. Certainly an Apple product made in the early 80s I'm positive a chip(s) is fried. Hopefully deciphering the error code can point me in the right direction.  | |
| Posted by: turbo on 2016-10-08 06:24:08 That's the Apple Joystick II, isn't it? IIRC this is a DB9 connector normally. I think you're right, this isn't compatible with the Mac. | |
| Posted by: Bunsen on 2016-10-08 22:43:14 Edited my reply above: USB controllers are of course compatible, it's the older, proprietary ones you have to watch out for. As far as I remember, every Mac game controller pre-USB used the ADB port. | |
