GlovePIE and PPJoy will let you make a virtual joystick which you can map your real joystick to however you'd like. So you could make an identical joystick except with the POV and X/Y axes swapped, just make sure to set it to your default joystick before you play the game, since old Windows games …

I was going to suggest maybe you could try the WinMM.dll hack from GOG's Jedi Knight install, seeing as they found a way to make it support the CDDA from both discs of that game, but it seems you found a convenient solution already. Maybe GOG might use your advice and credit you when they eventually …

Yes it does, but from my memory it makes no difference in regards to the left-analog-stick/d-pad issue. Again, I must mention that Gex patch I linked to - that's a very good example of what I'm after and which seems to work irrespective of the actual controller involved. If it turns out that's only …

One of the main problems with trying to use today's controllers with older Windows titles - mainly from the 90's and early 00's - is that they weren't programmed to understand the difference and co-existence of traditional joystick axis and the POV hats which make up today's d-pads. Old-school …

I'm playing round with code in some games atm and wish to be able to know not just when a specific address is modified by another instruction, but also when they're being read (say, for "cmp" purposes) by an instruction. BPM serves the former well, but it appears there is no means with which to do …

They probably assumed that those who installed the patch were most likely an SB Live! user and therefore didn't need to worry about any other cards. =P I remember needing it to get sound back when I played Tyrian 2000 on my old Win95 (then 98) setup several years ago. What with me having a Live! …

Damn, knew it would be hopeless! How were the other SB models emulated then? Didn't think any of the older cards would be open either. I could try to hack the old sound support into the new executable, except I don't know a single thing about hacking in that sort of regard.

Was just taking a look at Tyrian 2000 and the Soundblaster Live! patch for it lately. One thing I've discovered is that (after installing the patch) under DOSBox the Setup program will fail to detect the sound card for sound effects (but music will still work just fine). The only reason I'm …

Apologies for another bump, but I thought I'd mention that while it plays 22050Hz tracks the same as 44100Hz ones, it notably has problems playing tracks at 32000Hz or 24000Hz correctly. Is it because they're considered "abnormal" sample rates?

Out of interest, a look at dosbox.exe through a hex editor (or even metapad) reveals references to MP3, OGG, WAV, RAW, AIFF, AU and VOC. The last five - from testing - are all supported, yet DOSBox doesn't seem to co-operate with MP3 for some reason. IMGMount will happily accept a cuesheet with MP3 …
