Hi, I have a Windows 98 machine that works perfectly, except that I cannot get the joystick to be recognized in MS-DOS mode.
The joystick DOES work in Windows, but not in DOS. Every game that I start in DOS mode simply does not detect that there is a joystick present.
Also, the sound works perfectly in DOS.
I have attached a text document with my autoexec.bat and config.sys settings that I use when I go into MS-DOS mode from Windows. My regular config.sys and autoexec.bat files are blank on startup into Windows 98.
I added the "J200" to the SET BLASTER line in hopes that that was the problem, but it does not do anything. It acts the same way without "J200".
None of the DOS sound setup programs seem to mention the joystick being enabled or disabled.
Any help would be appreciated as this computer is so close to being my perfect DOS machine. Everyone seems to be telling me that "it should just work", but it doesn't.
Specs:
Windows 98 SE
Intel SE440BX2 motherboard
512mb RAM
3DFX Voodoo5 5500 AGP video card.
Sound Blaster AWE 64 value.
Thanks in advance!
