What is your hardware configuration?

I am running dos 6.22 and windows 3.1 with a SB AWE 64 PNP (ISA) and a 2 port gameport ISA card (this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem … e=STRK:MEWNX:IT).

What is happening is that everytime I run a dos game and try to calibrate the controller, the cursor is stuck on the bottom right and wont move.

I guess this is because you have two gameport devices on your machine: one on the AWE64 and the other on the gameport card. You'll have to deactivate one of them to get the other one working, otherwise they'll conflict at the same I/O address.

Another thing: Those 8-bit game cards are from a time before everyone had a sound card with integrated gameport, so you might have to slow down your machine for it to work correctly.

Is there a special reason why you want to use the gameport on the extra card instead of that on the AWE64?

SB AWE 64 PNP
PCI S3 Virge Video Card
Some random AT motherboard
And the game port card I linked in my OP

I have already tried it with only the SB card, same result.

Is the AWE card activated with the CTCTM, CTCU PnP manager in DOS?
