Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

I bought an clone version of the classic Atari joystick.

Plugging this into the joystick port of the Deluxe CMM2, I find that I can use the controller mouse open 2 to open it. (The controller classic and controller nunchuk do NOT work with this joystick.)

However, when I use functions like Mouse(X, 2), Mouse(Y, 2), Mouse(L, 2) and so on to try to detect joystick motions and button presses, I get nothing; just the default (400, 300) values for the center of the screen.

Is there some other function I should be using to work with the joystick?

Thanks!
-Bill

Oh, I also noticed that the 3 nunchuk ports are mislabeled as to channel, as well as being upside-down.

The ports are labeled, left to right when looking at the front of the unit: 1, 2, 3. However, the actual port numbers are 3, 1, 2. Not a big problem of course.

There is no built-in support for the Atari style joysticks.
You will have to roll your own.

Ah, ok. I was hoping that Piotr had a little demo program he could share.
