Thanks GDX!
I will be trying all Konami and Mouser patches and let you know if I find any issue.
Unrelated to joystick patches, but can you please take a look at Tatica game in rom format?
It is another one that doesn't run properly with rom loaders.

Hi GDX.
Could you do something for " Gradius 3 legends" ?
It's a Homebrew game By Imanok Heavy inspired By gradius saga.
It's a really great game .
At the very start of game it accept only cursor Keys and space to select the ship, and then works with joystick too.
Maybe You can patch it or contact the author to resolve this annoing bug .
Thanks
Here's another request, if/when you have time: Manic Miner!
The game supports Joystick but... well, it needs the space bar to be pressed to actually start the game. Duh.
Can't edit my previous post... sorry for the bump, but I'd also like to see Knight Lore although this might pose a bit more of a challenge:
The title screen has 4 options:
1 Keyboard
2 Joystick
3 Directional Control
0 Start the game
What's happening here is that you're supposed to press 1 to select keyboard, 2 to select joystick, 3 to enable or disable Directional controls and, finally, 0 to Start the game.
I don't know how this could possibly be "translated" to joystick control, but a patch which enables the joystick and Directional control and starts the game would be fine with me.
I'm interested too, but what program do I use to patch the files?
Thanks.
The standard GNU 'patch' works with the files I've provided.
Thanks a lot.

OMG thank you so much pgimeno!
Will try them asap and report back!
Alright, both works, thanks!
It has been a bit of a pain because I had to track down the cassette version, patch one, extract the contents of the CAS of both the original and the patched version and compare them to see what's been changed and apply that to the ROM, but it all worked out in the end.
