== Fire Button Notes ==
* Pin 5 - Fire 3 - This is an undocumented scarcly documented and very rarely used input (used by the AMX Mouse for example).
* Pin 6 - Fire 2 - This is the standard button, used by most games.
* Pin 7 - Fire 1 - This is the extra button, used only by a few games.
Following the Atari-standard, most joysticks have only one button (the "Fire 2" one). Games that support two buttons are usually optionally allowing to use the SPACE key instead instead of Fire 1.
'''Note''' Amstrad called the "Fire 3" signal "Spare", that name doesn't mean it isn't connected. On the old CPCs it was connected. However, according to the schematics, it is NOT connected on CPC+the Plus series and GX4000.
