Hey Gang,
Long time forum stalker first time post. Ello Ello!
Recently been working with my old AMD 750 Hypersonic PC and bringing it back to life. Installed all the good stuff even got a cool little DOS Menu thing going on. (Will post later) I got a value SB Live! Sound Card with a game port. I have gravis gamepad and number of other game port joysticks.
Everything works greats, sounds great...
except... Red Baron.
I know a lot of you will want all the specs and DMAs and IRQs and all that. Got Dos drivers and all that. I've done a lot of digging on the forums here. But I haven't found anything about this particular issue. (Mods feel free to re-route me.)
Dynamix games... are weird. IMO. The Joystick particularly.
Red Baron refuses to acknowledge a joystick exists in DOS on the game port. All other games see it. It will work in Windows if its a USB joystick (MS sidewinder)
Ace over Europe. NO ISSUE
Ace over the Pacific. What joystick you talking about?
A-10. Whut Joystick?
Stellar 7. Joystick???
I know xbaron is a thing that I've yet to install correctly but this seems like something that should just work. ya know?
I'm staring into the abyss of ebay looking for original SB cards, ISA cards even. Thinking the SB16 emulation of the dos drivers is the issue.
Please Vogons, pull me back from the edge!
CURSE YOU RED BARON!
