controls have so what would be player one's
swapped over joystick becomes player two's
joystick in a two-player, two-
joystick game and vice versa
Remedy
Connect joystick to THEC64 and
try again
Test joystick on a desktop or
laptop computer (Windows,
Linux, macOS) to verify it is
working correctly
Test another compatible USB
device in the USB port to
determine if port is faulty
Try a different joystick
Check which joystick port the
program expects the joystick
to be connected to. If port 1
(for a C64 program), then
this needs to be specified via
filename flags or CJM files. See
CHAPTER 8 for further details
Check that your program uses a
joystick. If it only uses keyboard
but you want to use a joystick,
create a CJM file to do this. See
CHAPTER 8 for further details.
Do not unplug and reconnect
the controllers. Simply swap
controllers between players.
