Wasn't it that way: 1pin ground, 2 for buttons and two for hor. and vert. pos.?
(PCs have analog Joystick instead of digital which need 4 pins for up/down/left
 and right). This means two joysticks need 1 ground + 4 buttons + 4 position=9.
There is the need to build a Y-connector. You may find this pin-layout in your
soundblaster manual. Not shure if all (or any) usual game-port supports two
joysticks.......
Good luck, Joerg.
