Check out this rubbish Amiga Game pad I got with my A600 E-bay package.
What is the second output for?

It looks like it has 4 buttons, but 2 of them are fake.
What are you looking at?

Nice pad skate..  ;)
Amiga games support only 2 buttons any way..
the extension looks like doubler connector for mouse port (some games needed i thing..) or is adapter for Atari ST!

looks like a Sinclair (grey) adaptor to me. I remember a couple of my joysticks having that on for usage with the speccy.

As you know yourself Anemos, the Sinclair port is wired slightly differently.

maybe yes,maybe not.. if the board inside has eprom transistor like Genesis PAD ..Spectrum +2 ,+3 not working with that pads,
must be disconnect the eprom ,and use only the directs lines of board buttons.
i have made one of this pad for my ZX+3 ..

actually, i think you can get 3 buttons through wiring alone.

The CD32 obviously has many more, but wiring is shared via a controller.

I think this pad will not have a controller though, and thus why it can be (has been) also wired for Sinclair usage.

I'd be interested to know if the second button works properly. Skate - have you tried plugging into the mouse port and seeing if one button acts like the right-mouse-button in Workbench?
