Joystick support isn't overly likely, although !HID may provide some
kind of emulation if memory serves to the main OS, which might allow
keypresses to be emulated.
Compared with the Amiga scene, RISC OS users tended to use the
keyboard rather than joystick for gaming - there simply wasn't much of
a joystick standard out there initially, and whilst there were ports
on the A3010 if memory serves, game support for joysticks was always a
bit iffy. Most Acorn gamers ended up with muscle-memory for ZX '/ Ret!
