can we use joystick in dosbox for playing games ?
 

Hello.
I have an arcade joystick which is plug and play and requires no calibration. it works fine in windows xp and MAME games.

However iam unable to run it in Dosbox with any of the games. Even those that support it.

can anyone direct me to some thread regarding configuration of joysticks in dosbox because i have not been able to find one.

Did you try the various settings (under [joystick] heading) in dosbox configuration file?

If what RRS said didn't help, check

Hey thank you for your help. its working now. apparantly u needed to configure joystick in game setup as well as in dosbox to make it work.

its working in another world and first samurai, iam sure i will be able to make it work in others as well now

Even if a game does not support joystick input, you can use a joystick with it in DOSBox by mapping the joystick buttons to appropriate keyboard inputs. Obviously, you'd need separate keymaps for different games. That can also be done.
