Dear all,

I have purchased a cable that splits the joystick port on my soundcard into two. The problem is that I can't seem to detect two joysticks at the same time, and now it's not picking up either.

Furthermore, I am using a an externals SB128 sound card, but there is another joystick port from the internal soundcard on the motherboard which I don't use. Can I use one joystick in each.

In short, I am trying to hookup two joysticks for two player mode games.

Thanks in advance folks.

You have to have a special type of joystick to be able to use 2 at once. Also the game has to be able to use both. I'm not sure on the details, but I've seen it done before.

Edit: Why are you asking this in the Video forum?
