Yes, all games can be started with "6" or "B" (i have not tried "T" or "G" on all games) Some Games start with any key from the LEFT Pad, some (like Astro pinball) even start with any key on LEFT or RIG...

Hi Mobsie, you are right, (i got the MHz values from the benchmark results page, they seem to have wrong values :0))

You are right, that snippet from the arduino-sketch was confusing... Sorry... the whole keyboard / joystick reading IS very confusing :0) I guess the difference lies somewhere deep within how the BASIC command handles/calculates the values it gets to differentiate its (only) 8 Directions and how oth...
