Is there anything like Joy2key for Amiga?

Why not just solder a two button joystick so one button acts as up on the stick and also add a switch to turn off up on the stick? Done this to a lot of controllers

Quite practical for some games

Edit: If doing this to a gamepad don't forget to cut the trace for the button you will use

Think you misunderstood.
Games like Turrican 2 use space bar as second button.

Ops sorry I must have misunderstood a bit

Yeah, although having a button for jump would be nice I am really talking about games where you have to hit a key which is awkward.

Yeah having the up mapped at a button is lovely in tons of games
But yeah hitting a key is really awkward, especially when I like sitting on a sofa playing some feet away from the Amiga on a TV :/

In the good old days I used to get my little brother to sit by the Amiga with his hand hovering over the space bar whilst I used the joystick. I would give him a shout whenever I needed a smart bomb and he would hit it. Naturally, he got the blame whenever I lost a life for not hitting it in time.

Unfortunately, now that he's 31 I don't appear to have the same authority over him as he refuses to do it.

Haha Clever one eh, I am quite sure I would have blamed my brother if I died in the same situation as you

Why did I never think about this haha, my 10 year younger brother always watched me play back then, could have made use of him
