Hello: I am about to start working on another game for the Amiga. This game will need to use the joysticks. I will need to write some code to read the values of the joystick for the directions of up, down, left, right, and the botton on the joysticks. I would also like to make the game a 4 player game, so I would like to also know how to hook up 2 extra joysticks to the parallel port (I thought I had heard some talk on this just a while ago). This code should be in C for a start, eventualy it may be converted to assembly (but not by me). I use Lattice 5.0 newest version. I hope somebody out there who has done work with the joysticks could help me out. Thanks (alot) in advance Randy Young

Everything you need to know is in the Amiga Hardware Reference Manual, from Addison Wesley. If you want to use the gameport device, an example is shown in the Amiga Rom Kernel, also from Addison Wesley. Both of these books should be available at you local Amiga dealer, mail order, or Software Etc. (B. Dalton). John
