Disable joystick?

I'm trying to get more than the two buttons out of my gamepad that dos box seems to recognize. To do this I'm using logitech's profiler software - it maps gamepad inputs to keyboard. This works fine in games like crusader: no remorse where you can disable the joystick, but I'm trying to do the same thing with Commander Keen and it autodetects the two button joystick, and prevents me from using the mapped keys.... or something along those lines.

So... I'm sure there's a bloody simple way to kill DOS box's joystick emulation, but I can't find it in the documentation etc.

If I have to start modifying the source, don't bother, I don't care that much.

If this is a big issue, is there any way that gravis game pad emulation could be done in the future?? most gamepads/joysticks have way more than four buttons now, so that should be easy 😉

Thanks in advance,

Stefan

I'm not volunteering to do coding here... I suck too much to try

ok... Ignore the useless post... I had profiler pointed at D-fend, not dosbox... so it would work in d-fend, but do weird things in dosbox...

Problem solved
