Hi all,

I have been using dosbox .74 for a few weeks now, and very happy to have ALL my old games working -- Awesome app!!!

Problem is , I am not having any luck with a USB joystick. From all the posts I have read, it sounds like if the joystick works in Windows, then it should automatically work in dosbox, but it's not working that way for me.

So far, I have tried a Logitech F310 Gamepad (tried both 'direct mode' with and without software installed, and 'x' modes) and also a Genius Maxfire G-08xu gamepad. Both devices are immediately recognized in Windows 7, and allow me to calibrate. Both devices are recognized by dosbox according to the status window. In my DOS games, I can configure the buttons in the setup routines, and do the 'center, upper-left, lower-right thing' when the games launch, but once in the game, the movement does not work -- Most of the time, I can move forward and left, but not backward or right. The fire /use buttons work. Have tried several USB ports on my PC with the same results.

Any suggestions on what gamepad I should be using or how to make either of these gamepads work? Looking forward to partying like it's 1993!

Thanks,
