I've tried both DOSBox 0.70 and 0.71 with my xbox360 gamepad (not wireless and windows vista x86 if that really makes any difference). When I set the joysticktype variable to anything other than none it crashes immediately on startup. The console window claims to have found a 5 axis 10 button joystick and immediately after that line appears it crashes.
Any idea what's going on?
bug in dosbox. although it doesn't show on xp/2k.
nothing you can do. we will release a new version of dosbox which should have this bug fixed. (probably in the upcoming week)

That's fine. I appreciate the quick response.

Dunno why this would happen for him under 0.70 though.
true,
tape_worm
is the moment of crashing identical for 0.70 ?
and/or do you have dep enabled on your system ?

edit: Now I'm not sure what is causing the crashing. 0.71 still seems to crash on my system even w/o the gamepad. (though I haven't tried rebooting and unplugging the wireless recv) 0.70 was really stable on my system, but I can barely get 0.71 to run!
edit2: I believe it may be the process "XBOXSTAT.EXE" that runs even after your controller is disconnected that may be causing the crashing.
I am not the original poster but I am having this problem with a wireless 360 pad (w/ wireless receiver) and v0.71 of DOSBOX which was a mandatory Steam upgrade for the id Software collection.
However, 0.70 seemed to work fine w/ the 360 pad... Also, can you forward the upcoming version to Valve so it works on the id Software collection? Wolfenstein is not as fun without a gamepad. 😀 Thanks!

ruined try setting joysticktype=none.
We will repair this on a short notice and inform id and valve about this as well.
