The simply things seem to confuse me beyond belief, my goal is make a proper arcade style controller for my Amiga.

I got some info for this from here :

http://www.hardwarebook.info/Amiga_Mouse/Joy

http://www.gamesx.com/misctech/controltech.htm

According to the pin outs theres a ground and a +5 but I can't work out where they would go.

In my head I am thinking that Up,Down,Left,Right would go to there appropiate places and then do I just put the ground (GND) on the other side of the switch, so when a button/movement is pressed it would it would cross Up with Ground and work???

Thanks for any help
