Can I use my mouse in joystick-controlled software?
If you have the right mouse, you can. It seems some MSX mice have a built in feature to emulate the joystick with the mouse. You enable it by powering on your MSX while pressing the left mouse button. This feature is known to work with the Philips SBC-3810 and the Sony MOS-1 mice and most likely also works with other mice that are similar to these. At least the Witty mouse doesn't have this feature. Try playing Aleste 2 with mouse like this!

Panasonic FS-JM1: YES
Philips NMS 1140/00: NOT

Um, so you pasted this from the ultimate MSX FAQ?
