Mostly i guess its a question of connecting the joystick to the gameport, and the game itself is the one that has to offer support for it, but back in the day, i had another joystick from quickshot (QS-201), and i remember that a floppy disk came with it, and if it wasnt a driver, i guess it was …

the product's page states: note:doesn't support MS-DOS. so this is most likely a usb controller that uses ps2 ports instead of usb for keyboard/mouse , useless for dos/win3x Thanks so much for your help keropi, i didnt notice that and the information was there all a long ;) BTW its difficult to …

Do you use Win95 on both PCs? Yes both Pc's have windows 95 installed. You should try to run both PCs in plain Dos. LSL, Driver, IPXODI... use the same LSL settings (Frametype!!!) and the same IPXODI on both PCs. If it works you can try to tweak Win95 setting to game the game run under Win95 Yes …

Creative says pretty much any 30 pin simm 80ns or faster. The cards are supposed to be compatible with just about whatever. Look other places than eBay though. Here are some that people have used in the past that work. And only $12 a stick. https://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/30PS16MB/ You can find …

The AWE based cards do support MT-32 emulation (via the /EM:MT32 switch), but this is only useful for games that does not require a real mode MPU-401 MIDI interface and doesn't use "sysex" commands to upload custom patches (like it does on a real MT-32). In other words, its MT-32 emulation is very …

The CT3670 is actually a unique model, since it is not really an AWE32, nor a SB32 (the latter from the time when they were launched in 1995). I'm more inclined to say that this is a later revision of a SB32 PnP, but I noticed that it is listed on Creative's site as an AWE32 PnP). It's main chip …

Well here's one problem. That's an AWE32, not a SB32. I have the exact same card in the exact same configuration, and mine works fine. Did you use the PnP manager for DOS? Did you try Windows 95b/c? To eliminate any variables and to ensure that you are using the right drivers Remove any and all …
