I have successfully set up a shortcut (per the directions in the AnandTech Forum FAQ) to run my DOS game (TIE Fighter Collectors' Edition) on my computer. Everything works, except the joystick. I've explored almost every option that I know of to make it work, with no success. I think the problem may lie in either my configuration files or in the lack of a driver, but I'm not sure. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
Here are the configuration files as they are now:
autoexec.bat:
@ECHO OFF
LH C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\MSCDEX.EXE /D:IDECD001
LH C:\WINDOWS\SMARTDRV.EXE
LH C:\MOUSE\MOUSE.EXE
C:\ESSOLO.COM
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1
config.sys:
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.EXE
DOS=HIGH,UMB,NOAUTO
STACKSHIGH=0,0
BUFFERSHIGH=10,0
FCBSHIGH=1
FILESHIGH=30
DEVICEHIGH=C:\WINDOWS\IFSHLP.SYS
DEVICEHIGH=C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\CPQIDECD.SYS /D:IDECD001
If you need more information, I would be more than happy to post it or get it to you another way. Thanks!
