I see a 3 buttons joystick amstrad homemade on a Facebook forum.
Can a cpc handle more button like a megadrive or an amiga cd32 pad?

Good question. The Joystick port does have 3 fire button pins. Fire 2 is the normal button. Fire 1 is the secondary and only sometimes used and Fire 3 is undocumented and rarely used.

@@ReadyZ80 it exist the amx mouse for amstrad with 3 buttons, I think they follow this way.
