I cannot seem to correctly set the controller buttons in Descent. Dosbox reports the controller to be a 4 axis, 13 button joystick, which is correct, but when I try to set the buttons in the Descent controller config, many of the buttons are being set as the same one (X == R1, or some such nonsense). How do I fix that?

Thanks!

Set buttonwrap=false in dosbox.conf. This information is in the readme, too. For playing Descent 1/2 on modern machines, you may want to have a look at D2X-XL.

I did not understand what the readme was referring to; thanks!

And I am looking at d2xxl! (I just wish the video blandishments could be disabled en mass 😉)

If somebody has time maybe adding a joystick section to the readme 😀

Oh cr*p, it's not in the 0.72 readme, right. As you know, wd, i have a rather personal relationship with the "buttonwrap" option, so i never had to look it up in the readme... (;

The dosbox.conf comments serve as "read"me as well, so it's basically there.

Yes; it was Dosbox.conf that I looked at, and didn't understand what the function being referred to actually did.

# buttonwrap -- enable button wrapping at the number of emulated buttons.
