==Finding proper joysticks==
It is not that easy, especially for the PLUS range. '''WHAT? The digital joystick should be same as ever? Theoretically, only the new analog joystick port is nonstandard?'''
Yet Not that Amstrad was uncompatible with most traditionnal controllers working on Amiga 500 or Atari ST will work just fine on a good old CPCStandard joysticks.
Few games made use of the possibility to have a second button, yet some Most traditionnal controllers did feature this alongside Autofire(with 1 button) working on Amiga 500 or Atari ST will work just fine on a good old CPC.

One of the simpler way is to use SEGA joysticks and paddle, yet it may need some kind of adaptator (to be done here).
The "not that easy" part comes from the fact one of the simpler way is to use SEGA joysticks and paddles.
 
Sega ranges of consoles (Master system and Genesis/megadrive) were the most common Atari Standard 2+ buttons user Hardwares.
 
In a way the "9-pin Atari standard" had become the "IBM PC 9-pin serial" (mouses) or the "Sega Joystick standard"
 
The commonest available "retro-vintage" 2+ buttons joysticks remains the sega ones.
 
They may need some kind of adaptator then
 
(to be done here or in a DIY page).
