Wing Commander runs fine in DOSBox otherwise, but if I try to use my ye olde Gravis joystick, music gets choppy (=has split second pauses, more if I move the joystick around). I have 1,3 GHz AMD Athlon with 256 MB memory. The joystick plugs into the gameport at my Sound Blaster 128 PCI card. Changing the CPU cycles or frameskip doesn't seem to make a difference. Using an USB gamepad doesn't affect the performance in any way. Also, when I move the cursor around with the joystick in the save/load room, the graphs (EKG-like thingies) at the end of the beds flicker.

I'll give you a bump, cause some others also have the same problem in other games (WC2, for example). Using an USB Joystick always fixed it, but I guess there is also a better solution than that.
