Anyone know how I can get all four buttons? The keymapper seems to be for keyboard only.

Buttons 3 and 4 on a 4 button gamepad are actually buttons 1 and 2 on the second joypad.

My pad obviously has 4 buttons, but only 1 and 2 are mapped right in DOSBox. 3 and 4 do nothing.

Ideas?

did you take a look at the configfile ?
if you set it to 4axis you should have more buttons.

It's not a 4axis controller though. No 4 button pads were!

Never mind, it worked. Not with all games though, I guess some games used nonstandard ways of polling the gameport. Thank goodness for DirectInput eh?
