Hello everyone,
can anybody tell me if is gameport among devices when DOSBox starts? I have set it properly in config file and I just need to know if problem is with my device or in DOSBox.
I run DOSBox on Win98 and gameport is running well in win98 - but is not in DOSBox.
Thanks for advice. 😀
Why are you running DosBox under 98? If you have 98 installed, you should be able to run most DOS games just fine natively.
controlled speed is a nice reason.

Have you tried running joytest.exe in DOSBox?
You can download it from wd's attachment in this thread
Joystick problem in v0.70 - Microsoft Sidewinder Pad
This YouTube video shows what it does (around 45 seconds into the video)

In XP and later, the joystick is detected as long as your dosbox-0.74.conf file doesn't have joysticktype=none
(assuming you have a joystick connected and configured in Windows)
By default it was set to joysticktype=auto on my computer
I don't know how well the joystick detection works if you're running DOSBox on Windows 98.
