I have just tested this with the latest version on my a3010, and unfortunately the joystick still does not work using Boot Floppy. It works ok if I run !squash directly from the icon.
Could you please let me know what the following returns:

F1026101 Nevryon (1990) (The Fourth Dimension) - Switch to MODE 0 before running the game to work around an in-game issue
If you are in Mode 28 before running the game, you get the graphical issues, and cannot play the game and demo mode does not display. Modes 12,13,15 and 27 all seem to work fine.
It's a bug in the game code, its hardcoded to only work under specific MODE's. I've fixed it in the script by switching to MODE 0 first.

Code: Select all
SYS "JoyMod_Test" TO A%:PRINT A%
Where do I run the command from? I tried just pressing F12 with ADFFS loaded but I get the error File 'SYS' not found

I tested this with the latest boot script and ADFFS to get those results, so even with switching to MODE 0 first it doesnt seem to work when in MODE 28 when you start. I'll double check it again though just to be sure

It looks like a bug in ADFFS, it's not reduce the memory allocated to the screen. I'll investigate and fix.

You'll need to run JoyMod first.

Hmm...it should be working then. Try running the code below from BASIC and see if the value changes when moving the Joystick or pressing fire:
Code: Select all
SYS "Joy_Test"
REPEAT:SYS "Joy_Read0" TO A%:SYS "Joy_Read1" TO B%:PRINT A%,B%:UNTIL 0
I'm expecting the left value to change.

When pressing fire it changes to 16, moving the joystick doesn't do anything

Now see let me know when values you get when holding the Joystick Up/Down/Left/Right:
Code: Select all
REPEAT:SYS"Joystick_Read" TO A%:PRINT ~A%:UNTIL 0
