The actual driver should of course be written in Assembly, but is it possible to conceptualize in Basic that when, let’s say, joy up is read in the port, it would trigger the up arrow keypress? I do not know how to program in assembler and am not sure how it should look, I think yes, the driver …

Would it be possible to write a short Basic program that listens to the ports to test how it works? 5 CLS 10 x% = INP(&H258) 15 z% = INP(&H259) 20 LOCATE 1, 1: PRINT "Joystick1 =", x% 25 LOCATE 2, 1: PRINT "Joystick2 =", z% 30 SLEEP 40 GOTO 10 it work just fine, but how to control games with a …
