How would I go about confirming this.. how do I know it's not working? Does it crash the emulation or does it simply not function? Are you using the -mouse command to active? If you have a test program to detail it's function for comparison, please attach.

I'd be happy to send a .dsk image with necessary programs to anyone wanting to work on the problem. I can't upload the .dsk image here because there is a limit of 16K on uploads.

MESS does not crash. The hi-res routines just don't function.

Hmmm, I mis-read the max file size. A test disk has been uploaded.
On a coco3 or 3h enter either of the following:
RUN"JOYCC3"
RUN"JOYCC2"
On a coco2 or 2b enter
RUN"JOYCC2"

You can then select within the program the type of joystick to be used. Be sure to then configure MESS for the same type of joystick.

Don't pay attention to the fact that the CocoMax routine does not result in full screen motion. That can be checked once the main problem is fixed.

An added note on this bug. On earlier versions such as 0.142, only the right hi-res Tandy or CocoMax joysticks work. The left settings are dead.
Since the Tandy code for reading the DAC is the same for both right and left sticks, and only the values sent to $FF01 and $FF03 to change the MUX line are different, that is a slightly different bug from the main one.

I should also state that joystick and hi-res selections are not functions of coco3 vs coco2 emulation. These functions should be active for all coco emulation.
