I've switched both but neither has any noticable (to me anyway) effect on the performance of the pad. Mines unboxed without instructions so I have no Idea what these switches are meant to change. Can anyone enlighten me please  . |

If you are playing a Sports Pad game- Sports Pad Soccer, Great Ice Hockey or Sports Pad Football then switch it to "sports"
For any other game switch to "control". If you leave it in "sports mode" you won't be able to even start the game. Well you can't on Psycho Fox!
I have dug out the manual - I can scan you a copy if you want...doesn't really say much though!
Also switch to 4 dots for rapid fire when you hold down the fire buttons or one dot for normal.
The only unique sports pad title is Ice Hockey as S.P Football and Great Football are the same game. Whilst Great/World Soccer becomes Sports Pad Soccer when the sports pad is plugged in and then the game turned on.
It's utter crap, I use the actual ball as a a cue ball when I play pool in my basement... ;D

Cheers Phil Don't suppose you could tell me which way players run in Great Ice Hockey when you spin your ball to the right could you? Mine run left... |

Spin right you move right lol! Have you got the pad upside down?
Just tried mine and the 1 button doesn't work during the game...I can't actually shoot...it works ok to start the game!
Maybe I should come round your house after work for a death match on Great Ice Hockey.... ;D

I'll have to fix my pad first!!!
I was actually using it upside down a minute ago to make it work right, but I couldn't control the ball with my left hand lol
Must be a Mega Drive compatability problem as I'm using an asian MD with an SMS convertor to play it...

It works fine on my pal MD1 with sms converter. My pad works better going right, going left you can't hardly move!

Maybe it's a bad contact between the rollers and the ball then.... I'm gonna see if I can modify it with an elastic band or two, tighten those rollers up a bit  |

I have a faulty Pad that just always keeps scrolling the cursor no matter what, but the other Pad I have works perfect (left is left, etc.) on my US NTSC Genesis with Power Base Converter.
