I have a joystick for my Commodore 64, but I don't know which port it connects to.
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

You should always use Port 2, because joysticks plugged into Port 1 could interfere with the command line interface. Some people thought this port was plugging a second joystick for two player games, however, this port became the default after a while.

Both ports go to the same pins on the CIA that handles the keyboard matrix, so a joystick plugged into either port can interfere with key scanning. But this is a moot point with software designed to handle joystick input.
The answer depends on which port the game or application expects it to be plugged into. See its documentation. There is no risk of damage in trying them both; just be sure to turn the C64 off before unplugging and plugging them in.

I always used the Atari 2600 joysticks with the C64. I remember playing Spy Hunter and it had a special plastic controller holder so you could use two joysticks and be able to press both buttons with the left hand.
