As far as I know, tying a pin to +5v will signal a 'joystick' up, down, left, right, etc. This means that impossible joystick movements like up-down are also possible. I think there is a listing in the Atari manual, but it is always possible to get a listing by just printing the memory locations of a joystick port and connecting different pins to the 5 volt pin to see what value is printed. Don't connect the 5 volt pin to ground... Bryant
