Note
There is an additional option for keyboard joysticks, Spectrum Cursor keys, which makes the PC keyboard's cursor keys behave just like those on a Spectrum+/128/+2/+2A/+3. This is useful when editing basic programs.
The AMX mouse hardware clashes with the Kempston joystick interface (they both use port 31). The joystick will not respond if the AMX mouse is enabled.
