Commander X16

I see you clarified it already so i don't need to add much to it.

I don't disagree

I had some issues with cheap SNES controller knockoffs that didn't work properly and to troubleshoot I needed good view into what is actually happening. Hence I wrote this tool to display raw data returned from the Kernal call joystick_get and also graphical representation of the buttons affected. I...

Hmm, I wonder who will get number 16 as in X16, lucky winner is still out there.

Awesome post. Enjoy sipping you whisky and hack away

BTW. for me whisky and coding doesn't work but enjoy each separately
