One Must Fall: 2097
Pray for Death
Primal Rage
Jazz Jackrabbit
Prehistorik 1 & 2

It is a Twin USB Gamepad, shaped like a Playstation controller.

Will it work with any of these games mentioned? If so, how do I activate the gamepad within Dosbox? Thank you.

If your OS detects it, and SDL likes it, it should work fine with dosbox.
Watch the console window if the gamepad is detected.

I have Windows Vista and when I run DOSBox with the USB game crontroller plugged in, it crashes. I notice in the command prompt that it picks it up. It runs fine without the game controller. 😕

Hi. I had DOSBox 0.71. After installing 0.72 it worked.
Thanks 😊
