Problem with direcional on games.

it is because, if has on start screen a menu to select if you want to user the keyboard or joystick input.

So, if the game is only reading the keyboard, it will works (and because that the BASIC cursor also works).

Or, if it don't have a menú, but you PRESS BAR SPACE, you are selecting to use KEYBOARD only

if you starts the game pressing a joystick button, you are selecting to use JOYSTICK. that way

But, a lot of games, reads keyboard AND joystick port 1 at the same time for PLAYER 1. And that is your problem, if you have a failure in the joystick port (its circuitry), like print STICK(1) and it returns 1 (1 means UP), you already has a proof of the malfunction.

So, you needs to fix the internal electronic parts.

I´ll check what Toshiba version i have. I guess 9769 is a MSX 2. Mine is MSX 1. Mine should be a T7775 or T7937. I´ll check!.
