How can I connect a joystick to the Sprinter 2000? The connector is X1. But what means JK0-JK4?
Normal is:
1 Forward 2 Back 3 Left 4 Right 5 NC 6 Button 1 7 +5V 8 GND 9 NC

JK0-JK4 are your 5 buttons - try connect each of this pins one by one to the ground when any kempston enabled game is active and you will see what is what

Try these mapping:
JK0 - right
JK1 - left
JK2 - down
JK3 - up
JK4 - fire
P.S. I found scheme of converter from you 9-pin joystick to Kempston interface:

What kind of joysticks are supported by the Sprinter 2000? The joystick I use with my ZX 48K did not work.

It's a "Kempston" Joystick - most popular in ex-USSR

Is a Competition-Pro joystick Kempston compatible or not?

See http://www.guildserver.co.uk/tempfiles/sjs-atari.jpg
It looks like what you described in your first post is "Atari" interface, so you need to have Atari joystick to work as a Kempston for this mapping
For old ZX joystick schematic is different

Competiton Pro works on Atari too. Then it is Kempston compatibel and should work.

I know now why my joystick did not work:
J_VCC is Joystick GND

It is very unusual that VCC is on joystick GND.

check this schematics:
http://www.epanorama.net/documents/joys ... stick.html
it looks like atari's GND is actually "common" wire, but in case of Kemptson interface (at least in Sp2000 schematics) "common" is +5V, not GND, so this is the reason why Kempston +5V should be connected to atari's "GND" (all JK pulled down to real GND through 1K resistors)
