Gauntlet joystick issues

  Richy42

   Hi just tried playing gauntlet. However I'm unable to get past the
   character selection screen. Basically you have a mouse like pointer you
   move over to select the character to start the game. However neither the
   joystick, virtual keyboard or external keyboard allows you to move the
   mouse pointer any ideas cheers ?

   [2]Richy42 I imagine it is looking for the joystick on port 1 and the Mini
   has it on port 2 by default.

   The options available are:
   1. Plug another controller in and then one of them will be on port 1.
   2. Edit the game to read from port 2 (tricky).
   3. Wait for the upcoming firmware update which allows you to configure the
   joystick port.

   [3]Richy42 Update 1.0.6 which is due out tomorrow appears to have some
   joystick fixes, but I don't know if that will include this particular
   issue. Keep an eye on the upgrade page: [4]https://thec64.com/upgrade/
