Hi, first I like to apologize for my bad english, but my native language is german. I hope you understand what my problem is... I own the C64 Maxi. Pastfinder was the game of my childhood and played it to Death. After all these years I like to play it again . I found and downloaded 3 Pastfinder files from different websites. I put this files onto a usb stick and tried out every file on the C64 Maxi. All the files seemed ok, the game started. But all I tried, I cant control my spider/spaceship or whatever this vehicle is called. I tried all Joystick moves, I pushed every button on the keyboard or virtuell keyboard. But nothing. Only "F1" do some action and takes me into the mainmenu of the game. But thats it... Can anybody here give me some hints or a tutoriallink to Joystick problems which can solve my problem? Thank you so much

It sounds like you need to swap joystick ports on the emulator. Many games require this. Did you try swapping joystick ports by either attaching the joystick selection file name tag to the file, or you can swap joystick ports by hitting two keys in combination on the joystick, or I think you can also swap joysticks on the maxi by pressing two keyboard keys in combination.

I just came across the same issue with this specific game. It's not the joystick ports, but with the joystick in port 2, I have to hold down the FIRE button or nothing will happen. Then, on the keyboard 9 = jump 0 = right J = left M = fire
I don't know this game so there is probably a 5th key that corresponds to (down?) which I haven't found
