 |  Re: Joystick ports broken ?
Bump!
Glad I searched and found this thread. I am having the exact same issue with both ports on my 64k C16, the exact same garbage is coming up on the screen as I move the joystick in either port as corpsicle described. I had to resort playing The Pit with keyboard as the joystick was doing some weird stuff, yet I tested Ikari Warriors and that was fine. I suppose that game doesn’t rely on any keyboard input though.
Now I need to figure out the solution given. Thankfully it appears that my chips and both joystick adapters are fine anyway after reading this. So, I need to open up my C16 and look for bent pins on the board? Ack! I do not trust myself messing around with components as I’m not tech-savvy enough, but seems I have no choice but to try. I’m going to need a bit of an idiot guide here guys, lol. What’s GND?
