''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 *''this PC analog joystickis of a slightly more recent generation (yet still using 15pin plug).''
As while CPC era Joystick were perhaps less subject to exotic setting, more modern era *''4 button joystick often had to feature their own drivers on PC (Win95+ era) and manufacturers often included more buttons, having while Amstrad supports only 2 is most probably the cause of failure to rely on non standards Pin-out settingget all directions properly.''
The same case appears when you try to use a Sega Genesis/Megadrive controller on a CPC, as those ''Tests have more buttons than the mundane Atari standardsto be done with an old 2 button PC analog joystick.''
