You should just use Xpadder 5.3 It emulates your keyboard to a controller and gives you full control over it. Much easier than the configuring DOSbox and the program itself doesn't require installation.

Ok I found the solution. Simply do not try to configure the controls in DOSbox at all, instead, download a progaram called "Xpadder 5.3" which emualtes your keyboard and mouse through a controller. It gives nearly full control. Works beatifully.

The game worked fine (it just didn't have sound and the CPU cycles were too fast) so I set the sound to sound blaster (which worked) but after that, I couldn't change anything. Now that I figured out how to get Gravis ultrasound detected by dosbox (which is what i originally wanted to do), Dosbox …

I might be using the wrong terminolgy. Refer to this if needed: http://www.glennsguides.com/2008/05/alien-trilogy-pc-game-free-download.html You type "config -writeconf dosbox.conf_" in Dosbox to make a new "dosbox CONF_file" which allows you to set a few things.
