As a result is may be a problem to find proper Joysticks for your PLUS/GX4000.
The goal of this page is to find all proper solutions for modern Amstradist to play it for real and give some gameplay options to games designers who would like to introduce need element on CPC and PLUS games to come.
You may also easily achieve a 4 fire button config by using both directional pads (one for each thumb yet the cable would be a nuisance) or a fixed Joystick (right hand, directions) + a paddle (left hand, fires).
==PC controllers==
Good old controllers for IBM PC & Compatibles weren't always USB, as it didn't really existed in the 90.
Many of them used a DA-15 connector, the same as the analog port on Amstrad Plus, wich was often pluged into the soundcard (Sound Blaster card was in fact game card...).
Those joystick weren't always analog too and many can still be found in your old cave awaiting a new life.
DA-15/DE-9 adaptators can also still be found.
More pics to come.
