Hello
I'm having some trouble with my joystick in DOSBox SVN Daum (Jan. 27. 2014).
Some information, as requested in the guidelines:
Motherboard: Super Micro X5DA8
Processor type and speed: Dual Pentium 4 Xeon 3.2 Ghz
Amount and type of RAM: 4x Kingston KVR266X72RC25L/2G (2GB DDR/266, registered ECC)
Video board w/ RAM amount and type: PNY NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GS AGP with 256 MB
Sound board: Realtek AC'97 Codec (on motherboard, ALC650 based)
Operating system: Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition SP2 x86
Game name: Anything that uses a joystick
Description of problem: joystick vanishes when altering timed=
Reproducibility of problem: Always
Sound mode used: Sound Blaster 16 and General MIDI
Video mode: Both Software and Glide, 640x480
Version of emulator: DOSBox SVN Daum (Jan. 27. 2014)
Steps already attempted to solve the problem: Configuration reset. Mapper reset. Reducing/increasing cycles. Altering cputype and core.
Gamepad model: Gamestop PC 1000GS USB gamepad detected as Generic USB Joystick with 4 axes, 12 buttons and 1 hat.
I'm using a freshly installed DOSBox Daum (Jan. 27. 2014) with default settings. Only custom thing is the mount command:
mount c d:\dosbox\c
My gamepad works very well with these settings. MSD 3.01 detects a game adapter under Other Adapters as Joystick A. Gravis utilities let me calibrate it and Windows 3.11 lets me install/calibrate/test it.
If I enter the command timed=false the gamepad just vanishes from DOSBox. It doesn't show in MSD, Gravutils won't show any joystick and Windows 3.11 complains about joysticks not detected.
Setting timed=false in conf file works until I pass the command timed=true (same symptoms as above).
Thank you for your time!
