Hey guys, I have a P3 Win98 build with Direct X7 installed. I have a Gravis GamePad, Interact ProPad with four face buttons, A Sidewinder 3d Pro I think it's called with the motion gyros that has USB and a DB15 adapter, a Retrobit USB Sega Genesis 6 button pad, and finally a PlayStation Classic USB controller.
The USB pads show up in Windows control panel under game controllers. The DB15 PADS DO NOT. if I add the DB15 pads inside there they just show not connected. Not sure if this is normal.
The controllers all will seem to work playing DOS games for the most part in a DOS window in 98. It's directX where I actually have issues. Motorcross madness was included with the sidewinder and works perfect with gamepads for the most part from limited testing. But games like Test Drive 4, Destruction Derby2, and Sega Rally 2 that I have tested so far don't seem to work with any of my controllers. Am I doing something wrong or is controller support, even though they all "support" controllers, just that dang spotty in earlier Windows games!?
