Oh cool. Thanks. I must be the only one actually using the BIOS emulated gameport if Im the only one who noticed. 🙄

Actually I think Im partly wrong and partly right. I think dosbox does have the A and B buttons backward. But I think my bit state code is wrong, which would explain why my game would occasionally misbehave. I may try and dig out that old Digital pascal compiler and see if I can fix it someday. …

Whatever it may or may not be, Im just reporting what I had to do when I originally programed it back in 1993. And, yes it still works correctly if I boot to MS-DOS. My sound card is Cmedia and they do distribute DOS drivers. Of course I have to dig out an old analog stick. But it DOES work in that …

OK this in interesting. I had forgoten that I had a little test utility that used that assembly code segment. It showed that the buttons were indeed being recognized. (and just for the record I have ZERO hope of changing any of this code. If I did I would actually program a win2k version, and not …

I just tried putting that in. There was a comment in the BIOS section that said something about "nothing yet". Adding it, didn't change a thing. BTW Just to add a little information incase someone thinks I havent tried everything, the CH fighterstick control utility comes with 3 different modes. Off …

Well I just tried the latest and greatest CVS build which prompted me to post the above note. So if this was included, it sure is not working.

Must be a year since I first reported on this. Ive been carefully trying out new CVS builds as they come out. This: NAME JOYSTICK_BUTTONS ASSUME CS:CODE,DS:DATA DATA SEGMENT PUBLIC DATA ENDS CODE SEGMENT PUBLIC PUBLIC JSBTNS RETAD DW ? ;gets joystick vals JSBTNS PROC NEAR POP BX MOV RETAD,BX MOV AH, …

Just a little off-topic inquiry... in which DOS games you've liked music so much, they are your favourite. For me it is: Daggerfall Dungeon Master II Master of Magic Tie Fighter Ufo: enemy unknown Easy. For me by far it was Descent 2. Descent 3s music was a little too toony for me and lost the edge …

I dont believe this. I finally found the assembly code bits from the game that deal with this. (Warning its in that old DEC PASCAL) This is NOT working under DOSbox but works fine in DOS 6.22 with an old analog joystick. ---JSBTNS.I86---(gets the joystick buttons) NAME JOYSTICK_BUTTONS ASSUME CS: …

Thank you very much for pointing that out. I didnt know that and I had though I had read the forums pretty thoroughly. Unfortunately I just tried the latest CVS build and INT11 joystick support looks to still be broken. I have an old old DOS game that I happen to know uses the BIOS interrupt call to …

Its just that Im specifically waiting on the patch that fixes the INT11 joystick support. My harddrive space is fairly limited and I dont have the space to install the cygwin developement package, so I cant compile patches myself.

Just curious. Its been 3 months.
