How do I use a joystick and/or gamepad with dosbox? Can I use ANY kind, or am I limited to older peripherals? Any help is appreciated, thanks.

I use a modern USB dual joypad and it works a treat. Every button works in Wing Commander III. Hope that helps.

Actually I wanted to know how to get dosbox to detect peripherals, which it currently does not for me. However, this does tell me that I'm not limited to older peripherals, so thanks.

Can anyone tell me how I get dosbox to detect peripherals? Any help is appreciated.

Did you also know that VOGONS has a search facility? Searching for joystick should (among others) give you this hit:
