I've actually used this on WHDload slaves :)

I think some of the slave authors have made some improvements over time, especially helpful for emulation compatibility.

With AMOS i tend to just use the AMCAF commands for it , which work very well.  XFire(p,b) i think ?  (port, button)

How many buttons are supported by AMCAF's controller reader?

All 7 CD32 buttons, on both ports.

It also has Parallel port support (4 directions, 1 fire) but IIRC one of the ports is bugged / read incorrectly, so i usually end up using the ERCOLE extention for that.

That's why I asked.  I knew you had said you used another extension for port reading due to a bug in the parallel port expansion.
