Hi there, Big THANK YOU to Al Righdee for providing a great fix! This issue was present since 3.6 i.e.more than 3 years now(!) and it's really about time official VICE is properly patched as this makes VICE unusable. The issue is NOT limited to just THEC64 joystick though - it seems to apply to probably all 'retro' type joysticks: I have verified it also happens with Speedlink Competition Pro and, perhaps more importantly, with Immortal Joystick USB adapter which covers a ton of old-schools DB9 joysticks!...
