[[Tennis Cup 2 ( Cartridge )]] allows player 2 to use analog port.
 
MacDeath comment :
I tested it with a Trust Predator Lite PC analog joystick (4 button, 15pin socket).
Seems to actually work.
 
Yet I found out that it was impossible to go to directions Down and left (yet up and right worked), probably due to :
--this PC analog joystick is of a slightly more recent generation (yet still using 15pin plug).
--4 button joystick, while Amstrad supports only 2 is most probably the cause of failure to get all directions properly.
 
Tests have to be done with an old 2 button PC analog joystick.
 
As while CPC era Joystick were perhaps less subject to exotic setting, more modern era joystick often had to feature their own drivers on PC (Win95+ era) and manufacturers often included more buttons, having to rely on non standards Pin-out setting.
 
The same case appears when you try to use a Sega Genesis/Megadrive controller on a CPC, as those have more buttons than the mundane Atari standards.
 
Yet if you manage to find an old 2 button PC analog Joystick, and actually own a GX4000/Plus with the Tennis Cup 2 Cartridge, it's worth giving it a try for the fun of it.
