Hello
I have a 486 DX setup that for the life of me I can't get to accept a joystick on the gameport properly. It has worked intermittently but always falls over and I have tried two separate soundblaster cards that both have the same issue.
Cards used are thew AWE64 Gold and a SB16, everything else on the cards work and I have had a successful diagnose run on them( I did run into the high DMA error which crashed my PC, so I have used a setting in CTSU? app that allows only low DMA and it reports no conflict on the gameport) . Sound is also being received on my SC-88 through the AWE gold so that suggests the port works. I have toyed with buying just a gameport isa slot but will hold off until I am sure I can't fix this
Please help as I am desperate to play Aces of the Pacific!
Also I have several joysticks to test with one of them being an early CH Flightstick.
