HEPL!!!

I have the installed the NASCAR racing on my newly upgraded 166 MMX
Pentium.  The problem is the joystick does not work with this game or
any othe game that it worked with in the past. Do I need a newer
joystick? I hve tried both of the joysticks I havve had for about 5
years.

Any Ideas???

Sounds as if your soundcard (or gameport device) is not configured
properly.  Most DOS games will need to read the joystick via I/O 201-201
and some soundcards won't turn on this I/O until they are properly setup
via either the config.sys or autoexec.bat file.  Are you using the same
soundcard from you old machine?  Try moving it to a different slot on
your motherboard.

I believe there was a patch that fixed this, check sierras site

I searched and searched Sierra's site but could not find any link to a patch
for joysticks.
Do you remember where it was exactly? Or have a link to it?
Thanks

SS

I believe the patch was included in one of the update patches, not sure which one sorry

I believe the name of the patch is n2pat0.exe hope this helps
