The Fifth Horseman 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.

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.
