Help NEEDED (Controller Problems)

Hmm... sounds to me like you should get a dedicated game port...   or maybe
you can mess with the memory address to move the ports memory away from
anything anywhere close to it...  just my guess.

Help NEEDED (Controller Problems)

by Thomas E. Retkowsk » Wed, 12 Nov 1997 04:00:00

Okay, after a major system problem I am up and running again except for
one thing, I can't get any game controller to work outside the control
panel calibrate and test area.

Here is what I have

Pentium 2 266 AGP motherboard
64 megs of SDRAM
AWE 64 Sound Card
S3 Virge 2mb 3d card (This is only temporary, my major system problem
was due to the STB Velocity 3d 4mb failing, throwing my system into
Windows Protected Mode)

The Games at the Moment I want to run are Dark Forces, Jedi Knight and
NASCAR 2.

I think I have to reload NASCAR 2 because after running the patch I
couldn't enter the game.

Anyway, the first step in my estimation is to get any of my 3
controllers to work.  I have the Gravis PC Game Pad, Virtual Pilot Pro &
just got the Gravis GamePad Pro.

Take your pick, the first and second are for Dark Forces and Jedi
Knight, the VP Pro for NASCAR 2, but if anyone take email me and talk me
through gettting any of these controllers to work I will be very
greatful.   Creative Labs response was less than useful.

Thanks
