Summary06330: The game is not possible to start - joystick doesn't react
DescriptionSlave: latest (Retroplay's install)

If game is loaded, in menu you can start:
1Player - push button
2Player - press "2"

In this point, the game absolutely doesn't react for joystick fire button. Impossible to start the game.
I also tested floppy version SPS2188 (which the install is made of), and here everything works perfectly. If fire button is pressed, the game starts.

Tested on 68000/20 - the same.

Fwiw, I can start this game on the latest retroplay whdload in a emulator (puae) in RetroArch android overlay with the default retropad or cd32 pad or joystick in the RetroArch quick menu control menu (which specifies the kind of hardware that is connected to the overlay retropad I think).

But not with analog joystick or keyboard. fwiiw.

I found the problem.
This game doesn't like CD32 pad in joystick port, there must be inserted standard joystick, then it works correctly.
(before, as I also tested floppy version SPS2188 with WinUAE QS configuration, so there is set standard joystick by default, that's why it worked).
Until today, I have never seen such problem, when some game doesn't accept CD32 pad as joystick.
I don't know if this is a problem to solve.
And also where the problem acctually is, if on game side or WinUAE side...
