==AMSTRAD The CPC Joystick==joystick port is (more or less) based on the Atari-standard, for details on the pin-outs (and differences between Amstrad CPC and normal Atari/Commodore ports), see:
* [[Connector:Digital joystick|CPC Joystick Port Pin-Outs]]
"As Amstrad CPC do sport only one Joystick connectionAt software side, it the joystick port is possible to customise some kind part of 6 button Joystock quite easilythe keyboard matrix, using accessed via the 4 directions of general purpose I/O port in the second button as additionnal firePSG chip, which is itself accessed indirectly via the [[PIO]] chip. == Official Amstrad Joysticks == * [[Amstrad JY-1/JY-2 joysticks]] == Compatible Standard Joysticks == All Digital Joysticks with only one Fire Button and Direction switches should be usually working with the CPC. == Incompatible Standard Joysticks == Joysticks that do require 5V/GND supply (eg. for use built-in 1 player gamesauto-fire circuits) won't work on the CPC. Such a custom device would need Joysticks with 2 controllers connectors to -3 buttons may also be used problematic (in the Atari standard, 2nd/3rd button are wired between POT0/POT1 and 5V). And, in lack of the POT inputs, any kind of analog devices (like Atari paddles) won't work on an Amstrad plusthe CPC." Huh? == Y-Cable == * [[Joystick Y-cables]]
