you might want to try a non official driver for the device. As in a driver for a different PCMCIA game port card. This is under assumption it just uses some kinda standard gameport interface.

Try find EXP game traveler drivers from archive and see if they work

My friend helped me to buy an I/O DATA PCJOY PCMCIA Gameport from Japan several month ago. I was under the assumption it works in DOS.

Recently when I tried to install the driver in DOS, it show an error English DOS not supported.
Installing in Windows 98 also error out with Windows 98 files not found.

After further research, it seems DOS/V is required. It's DOS with Japanese (doublebyte characters) support.
Windows 98 probably also needs Japanese version.

Here is the driver:
http://nwserveur.no-ip.org/win3xorg/devices/P … 0PCJoy/drivers/

Anyone knows if there is a work around, so I can install on English DOS?

Don't run the install.
Just use JOYDV.COM enabler on the commandline, you might need Cardsoft Socket and Card Services running if your PCMCIA chipset isn't PCIC compatible.

@Warlord It seems the EXP drivers only work for their hardware.
In Windows 98, it detects PCJOY and prompts for driver, browsing the EXP driver folder results Windows cannot find driver for this device.
In DOS, add EXPGAME.EXE to config.sys and reboot shows "pcmcia game card is not present!"

@lolo799 Installed Cardsoft Socket and Card Services. Loaded JOYDV.SYS in config.sys without error

Also ran JOYDV.COM without error

However, when I run Street Fighter, the game cannot detect joystick. There is a JOYTEST.EXE, and it said cannot run in US (I assume it means English)

You don't need both joydv.sys and joydv.com, only the latter.
Can you try another game?
What kind of gamepad or joystick are you using?

Retested with only joydv.com and same result.
I was using the Gravis 4 buttons PC gamepad.
Tested with Raptor and select joystick in configuration. And it cannot detect the gamepad neither.

Just ran JOYDV.COM with PCJOY2 and Street Fighter works fine as well as other games. I tried with PC Propad 4 and Interact ProPAD, so this could be Gravis issue? Are you sure, that your gamepad works?

I will order a PC Propad 4 and retest. Do you mind to share which laptop you test with PCJOY2?

My Gravis gamepad worked with PCJOY2 in DOS on IBM TP 360c. AFAIR it did not even require SS and CS.
What laptop are you trying it on?

I tested on Digital HiNote VP717

Toshiba Tecra 8000, or Samsung Sens 800

Interact ProPad Blue is awesome with Dangerous Dave!
