Was wondering if there are any games specifically that are able to use the white db15 gameport version of the gamepad in Dos via Grip or whatever? Also, is there a software/driver archive for this thing somewhere? Looking around on google, I wasn't able to turn up much of anything.

This might be a good place to start, regarding native support:

As far as drivers go, Kensington still has Gravis documentation/drivers on their FTP site:

Thanks man. Yeah, got it working, but I guess they never got around to supporting the Capcom fighters or Mk2 and 3 in Dos on the thing with Grip. 🙁

Messing with it more, was able to get MK 1 and Super SF2 Turbo going ok via custom set. Really no hope for MK3 in Dos though. Game doesn't implement the choice between gamepad or keyboard at start-up, just sees them both on at once instead. Wrestlemania the Arcade Game I think is the same way, and that is another one that could have benefited from Grip. 🙁

Give me link to a file upload & download site that is simple to use, that requires no regstration etc and I will upload images of my original gravis gamepad pro floppy disks there.

Vogons Drivers? 😜

There's the CD-ROM the later Gravis Gamepad Pro ships with, at least.
