It looks like the fire is being detected all the time. It might be some kind of an autofire or a fluke, but it needs checking.

I've made a small util: https://github.com/pkali/scorch_src/blob/master/artwork/joytest.xex
if you can, please run it on your machine. If there are white drops when fire is not pressed or black drops when pressed, it means the joystick is a bit flaky. I'd love to see a report on this.
Possibly will have to rewrite joystick routines to work as in OS anyway (once a frame)

I checked it on a real atari 800 and fake atari joystick, seems to be OK.
