[Coco] Problems with The OS9 Game "Mixup"

[Guillaume Major]

Hi Charlie,

That game uses Tandy's Hi-Res joystick adapter by default. To use with a 
regular joystick or mouse, you need to add the "-m" option when starting the 
game.

I've also never heard of that game before and I've found a copy of it in my 
archived disks collection. I've created a self booting disk and added a 
startup menu to ask for monitor and joystick types. I've also created 
specific versions for the Coco SDC, Drivewire and Beck Port. It can be 
downloaded from the archive:

Enjoy!

Guillaume

Judging by the fact that it works fine with the keyboard mouse, I am 
guessing that it is using the other port (left vs. right) than what you have 
it plugged in to.
