Joystick on X-Wing DOS Floppy - anyone?

[rhester72]

I don't know if this applies to the Collector CD version, I'm asking purely about the floppy edition.

Does anyone have the joystick working at all in newer cores? Mine is completely unrecognized (mouse works though), yet works perfectly in Wing Commander (as a basic 2-button analog stick), so there's no reason I can think of it *shouldn't* work in X-Wing.

Is it possible that the change that added 4-button and Gravis pad support somehow changed the device ID that's sent to the game or something that causes it to think it's not a compatible stick?

I'm not sure, just grasping at straws honestly, but that's the only thing standing between me and a month of Star Wars bliss.

It's not the change to 4 button Gravis, it stopped working before. It works in the last official core, but once the cache was implemented the Joystick stopped working.

Any idea around what build/release the problem started? I can try to narrow it commit by commit if I have some reasonable window (the hour-long compiles don't help).

From the first cache version onwards.

The latest update fixes the Joystick in X-Wing and Tie Fighter.

Joystick detection is now properly triggered and works. It is still broken in Tie Fighter CD. Here the Joystick is detected but doesn't respond to any button.

'Confirmed - thanks for the heads up!
