At the top left window can you enter commands (dump, modify, load, save memory, modify registers, IO ports), enter ? for help.
To the right window can you enter brekapoints.
Bottom window for the LUA scripts (for a advanced tasks).

Send the desired keyboard matrix row with writing port 0xB5, then you can read the status of that selected row on the same port, by reading port 0xB5. Well, I always confuse row/column :) but in the diagram you also mentioned, it's what you read for example. The internal joystick (named as "JOY" on the diagram) of EP are simply behaves as any other keys on the keyboard, no difference at all (technically keys and internal joystick pad points are the very same on the keyboard membrane only the physical design of buttons and internal joystick handle are different). You can see on the diagram too ("JOY" up/down/left/right among the "normal" keys in the matrix). However external joystick(s) are complete different issue (named as "JOY1" and "JOY2"), they are not the very same process as you would do with the keyboard+internal joystick, that involves port 0xB6 too. You can see this in the right column on the diagram (I mean the diagram/matrix on page 4 of that PDF).

Honestly I don't know how _external_ joystick(s) are emulated in ep128emu, including the fire button ...  I think you should choose "Keyboard map" in the "Options" menu, so you can define keys assigned to the EP keyboard and external joystick "events".

What kind of "arrows" do you mean? For internal joystick directions of movements, it's "JOY UP" for internal joystick direction "up" (ie: row 7, bit position 3 named as "b3" in the matrix so it would be write value 7 to port 0xB5 to select row to scan, read port 0xB5 and if b3 - bit 3 - is _reset_ then internal joystick function "up" is activated/used), and so on.

Update: if you mean the "cursor arrow" keys (I'm sorry it just come into my mind that you meant maybe about the cursor arrow keys when you wrote "arrows"), on EP the internal joystick is used for that, there is no separated "joystick" and "cursor arrow keys", they are the very same entities (this means, that on EP you use the internal joystick for cursor movements as well even in BASIC etc - this can be "strange" for newcomers, I can imagine ...). Of course I meant the _internal_ joystick again (built in the EP), the _external_ joysticks are different issue.

Well, I am not an organizer, but I think, since one program is already posted (flapflap.bas by endi) you may want to post yours there too. Maybe someone then can create a new thread/topic and move the posts if they really want? But it is just a guess from me, I am only curious what the second entry will be and I'd like to see it as soon as possible :) :) :)
