Help appreciated with A1200NG D9 joystick/mouse ports
« on: January 02, 2026, 03:07:02 PM »
I need some help with the joystick setup. When using an USB-mouse (for mouse) and two joysticks in the D9-ports of the A1200NG, how does the config look like? My joysticks (Comp Pro) are sometimes not responding etc. so I guess my config isn't correct. Screenshot would help me out. Thanks in advance.

Remember that the original Amiga only got two ports, so if you got a mouse and a joystick connected, you're set ! If you want to play a game with two joysticks, you have to disable the mouse in the Controller menu and set only the joysticks to Port 0 and 1 ...

So, to be safe would be using a switch in one Port with a d9 mouse and Joystick attached?

Dunno if that works, never used one of those  :)

Not entirely sure what you mean by that, but DB9 mice don't currently work onlyDB9 joysticks

Thanks for that. It would be good if it stated that somewhere in the documentation. When I set up mine, I connected a DB9 Amiga mouse to one of the ports. When that didn't work, I switched to a USB mouse. This takes up one of the two externally accessible USB ports, but it works. Having just read the manual again, it's sort of implied that that's how it works. It only ever mentions a USB mouse and DB9 joysticks. I still think it would be beneficial if the manual was more clear on that.
