I got a Logitech MouseMan serial mouse and connected it with a second Prolific based USB to Serial adapter and configured DOSBox for the corresponding COM ports. I setup DOSBox to run MOUSEOFF.COM to unload the DOSBox mouse driver on startup, then when it runs the Logitech Mouse driver, it can …

Hi, You are correct about the source of the patch. I never knew it existed when I started down this rabbit hole, and even afterwards, when I Googled "Tempest 2000" "DOS" "patch" "Wingman Warrior", I got nothing helpful, so I hoped that by posting something explicitly here, those looking to play the …

Hi, I have not been using DOSBox -X, but was using DOSBox. I installed and configured DOSBox-X, then disabled the mouse (auxdevice in the the keyboard section) using the included DOSBox-X configuration tool. Thanks

Oh thanks, I will try that. I had run across a different method using a program called MOUSEOFF that I found here, but I'll try the correct method. Thanks! Re: Mouse problem download/file.php?id=5488 Cheers

Greetings, I was unable to find a PDF or images of a manual, but I think I got enough from a text file that was on the CD-Rom from that thread and various other threads. Thank you! I had forgotten that this is a DOS era controller and not exactly the same as the other digital gameport controllers …

I did not want dosbox writing to my actual C: boot drive or attempting to do so, so I did not mount my actual C: drive as the C: drive for dosbox 😀 Thanks again

Hi, I'm trying to use a serial joystick device whose driver will not load since it detects there is already a mouse driver in memory. The device is a Logitech Wingman Warrior joystick, and it is connected to the computer via a USB to serial adapter on COM4. I have configured dosbox to use this …

Hi, One of the reasons that I ordered a necroware adapter is that WingMan and some of my other controllers were listed among those supported, so I am hoping to plug this one in and see what it does. I expected that only the joystick side of the controller would work through the adapter, and that the …

You are the genius 😉 I mounted a different drive letter for DOSbox because I didn't want Windows to complain that I was messing with the boot drive. Now that I have a C: drive it works. Thank you so much!

Hi, What I meant was that I would like to be able to try using the necroware adapter for the gameport connector of the Wingman Warrior, but the spinner has it's own DB9 connector that will not fit the DM15 gameport plug and would have to be translated separately. It may be possible to build a …

Hi, I just ordered one of these adapters, but that is for the DB15 gameport connector. I'm not sure it can help with the DB9 serial connector on the controller. I don't have a manual, but assumed that both connectors on the joystick needed to be attached to the computer.

The Wingman Warrior has two connectors, one is a DB15 gameport, one is a DB9 serial. I had read that the DB9 attaches as a mouse and functions as a mouse X-axis, but perhaps I misunderstood. I guess if it is proprietary, I won't be able to use this controller for anything. Thanks

Hi, I was reading a twitter thread which may indicate my understanding of how a serial mouse works was in error. I was thinking that what I had to do was tell windows there was a serial mouse at a given COM port, and that it would use that port data to move the mouse. According to what I read, …
