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.
