Hi, will this work in MS-Dos? I tried to get my sidewinder joystick to work in dos via usb but i had no chance, worth bying or same problem. This one has the gameport cable. Thanks
Well to anyone ever Searching this, yes its working out of the box without any drivers BUT...it has a potentiometer slide and after 30 years its often broken and will not work like it should i have no idea how to fix this...so it "stutters" jumps abit up and left and back to center without even touching the joystick.
Sounds like you need some good electronic contact/tv tuner type cleaner....
Hate posting a reply and then have to edit it because it made no sense 😁 First computer was an IBM 3270 workstation with CGA monitor. Stuff: https://archive.org/details/@horun

YOURE A GENIUS! Used Isopropanol and cleaned both axis " metalic" slides...its working! WOW! Thanks alot! Great Idea. It got to life again.
And now DOS Rdy.
Nice one, and good to hear about the DOS compatibility.
Here are some examples of electrical clean/lube sprays, and it's definitely worth having a can in the kit.
My usual go-to. Cheap! https://www.jaycar.com.au/contact-cleaner-lub … ay-can/p/NA1012
