At least I hope that's what's happening? So I bought a y-splitter from ebay to use with 2 Gravis gamepads in two button mode on my DOS machine. When I attempt to play Gauntlet 2, nothing on the second controller registers at all, no matter if I have one or both gamepads plugged in, the second port always does nothing. I also tried the gravutil program to test, and port one registers X, Y, and both buttons. Port 2 registers X as all the way to the right, Y as nonexistent, and neither button does anything. I can however move X to the left. This seems off. I would expect at least the pad to work, and I could swear that you're supposed to be able to use 2 gravis pads if they're set to 2 button mode. SO. Did I get a faulty splitter? If so, can anyone recommend a good place to get one that actually works? THANKS!
(yes of course I fully tested both pads separately from using the splitter)
1.) MS-DOS 6.22, Pentium-S 90mhz, 32mb RAM, S3 Trio64, Vibra 16
2.) Windows 98 SE, AMD Athlon XP 3000+ 2.1ghz, 512mb RAM, Geforce 4 TI 4200 128mb, Sound Blaster Live! Value
