Hi to all,

I made a research on this topic, but found no answer.

Has anyone any idea about the way to use the Gravis GriP in DOSbox 0.73 ?
I tried everything I could, to no avail.

Actually, I have a Gravis GriP set with 4 controllers (I'm lucky, I know this is rare and desired ...) and I would like to use it to play Street Racer, with DOSbox on Windows XP.

Originally, Street Racer can detect the Gravis GriP system when run on a genuine DOS 5.0 and further versions. How can I get the same result in DOSbox ?

Thanks for your help, that will be usefull for many people I think.

To be more precise ... I mean the Gravis GrIP Multiport system.
Anyone has an idea on how to set this up in DOSbox on XP ?

Dosbox does not feature grip support. Only the standard gameport emulation which is 4 axis 4 buttons total. max. It would be a great to patch the dosbox source with grip support. The best you can do now is use a directinput to keyboard mapping program to emulate keyboard keys with the grip pads and then configure the games to use the same keyboard keyset.
