Joystick connection (C64/Amiga)

[Franko]

As everyone else has said, there is nothing in a standard joystick that would enable software to detect on either the C64 or Amiga...

Just played Xenon 2 on the miggy and nope there is no game pause if you unplug the joystick...

So c'mon spill the beans which one of you claimed it would in this wee debate you or your friend...

Disconnecting a joystick while the miggie is on is perfectly safe as long as you don't have any of the fire buttons or directional switches pressed on when doing so...
