Nice pindown. I get the exact opposite behavior in Virtual II when running
as a II+: if I hold down the shift key, Homeword says that it won't run with
a game controller attached.
In Virtual II, doing a 10 PRINT PEEK(-16285): GOTO 10 shows that the MSB of
$C063 is high when shift isn't pressed, and low when it is. (I don't know
what the correct behavior actually is of the shift key mod, but that's
reverse from the normal paddle button behavior.)
