### Genesis Gamepad
Some ROMs make use of a Megadrive/Genesis style gamepad. Emulation of these
devices is the same as the regular stick.
For these devices the `B` key on the keyboard can be used as the B button for
the player one pad; and the `6` key for the player two pad.
When using a real gamepad the `B` button can be used as expected.

### Auto-Detection
## Atari 2600 Front Panel
`Gopher2600` supports auto-detection of input devices. In general, this is done
by 'waggling' the control a few times in order to wake up the device.
The VCS panel is controlled through the function keys of the keyboard.
On startup, the stick is assumed to be the controller of choice.

* `F2` Panel Reset
* `F3` Colour Toggle
* `F4` Player 0 Pro Toggle
* `F5` Player 1 Pro Toggle

for certainty that a keypad controller is required. It is therefore not
possible to switch to or from keypad control manually because there is no
need.
## Hardware Controllers
### Gamepad
### Modern Gamepad
For convenience the joystick and paddle for the left-side player can be
controlled through a gamepad. For the joystick, use the left thumbstick or the
DPad. Any of the face buttons will act as the joystick's fire button.
To control the paddle use the left and right analogue triggers. Note that you
will need to 'waggle' the triggers a couple of times for the emulator to detect
that you want to switch to the paddle.
