Summary	05752: c64 c64p Bubble Bobble - All versions: c64 c64p No joy response for Player 1 controls under a two player game.
Description	Under both NTSC and PAL C64 emulation, the joy mappings for Player 1 under Bobble Bubble - Which are linked to P2 Up, P2 Down, P2 Left, P2 Right, P2 Button 1 - does not respond. Only Player 2 joy mappings (Which are linked to P1 Up, P1 Down, P1 Left, P1 Right, P1 Button 1) work. This may be associated with previous reported issues of some games (I.E. G.I, Joe, Friday the 13th) not responding at all or incorrectly to joystick input as the hookup or link of 'joy' related devices may be broken or connected wrong somewhere/somehow.
Steps To Reproduce	Load and Run a two player game of Bubble Bobble: mess.exe c64p -joy1 joy -joy2 joy -flop1 "Path\To\ROM\BubbleBobble.d64" or mess.exe c64 -joy1 joy -joy2 joy -flop1 "Path\To\ROM\BubbleBobble.d64" Player 1 will not respond - Only Player 2 will move.

Adding full reports for one game with the same causes is IMHO a waste of resources and time and I'd rather not see more new with bugs with issues of similar joystick breakage.
No.11141 trebor Tester Oct 21, 2014, 19:57	Understood and appreciated, Tafoid. It wasn't until this game though that a connection (instead of 'one-offs'/game specific) truly became evident. Regardless, thank you.
No.11158 trebor Tester Oct 22, 2014, 15:25	Here's the issue in a nutshell: Real hardware & (Win)Vice: Port #1 - Controls Player 2 Port #2 - Controls Player 1 MESS: P1 Controls [=Slot Joy1] - Controls Player 2 P2 Controls [=Slot Joy2] - Not responding Summary: "P2 Controls [=Slot Joy2]" is broken, not connected/hooked up, missing functionality.
No.11164 trebor Tester Oct 22, 2014, 18:45	Additionally...and interestingly, in connection with the 'joy' problem, for California Games, Players (1 & 2) map to P2 Controls [=Slot Joy2] and works without problems unlike the other games: Grog's Revenge, Friday the 13th, Bubble Bobble, G.I. Joe - where players are mapped to P2 Controls [=Slot Joy2] and there is no response. However, entering your name/typing key information results in odd/weird results under California Games. Sometimes it backspaces when hitting a letter or doubles letters to one adjacent to the key you are typing. See some of the information here: http://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/1616/why-did-many-commodore-64-games-require-the-joystick-to-be-in-port-2 There may be an issue the way MESS manages joysticks and (the interaction with) keyboard strokes as it to relates to actual C64 hardware behavior.
