After e-mailing Vlad a few times over the past week, we sorted out my 4 button gamepad control in TombRaider 1, (DOS based).
Vlad thought that u could only get max 4 btns in DOS, but I currently have all 6 buttons running on an old Pentium 233 with a Yamaha OPL3sax ISA soundcard.
How can I get VDMsound to emulate all 6 buttons in WinXP with my new PC? All six buttons are recognised in 'Control Panel/Game controllers' for modern games, so it's just a matter of getting VDMs to see them.

I had one DOS game that USED all 6 buttons: Super Street Fighter II Turbo (VERY accurate recreation of the arcade). It came bundled with a 6 Button "Phantom" controller.

It handled U/D/L/R and Button 1 and Button 2 as a normal stick.

Buttons 3 and 4 where buttons 1 and 2 on "Joystick 2".

Buttons 5 and 6 (The triggers) were the X axis of "Joystick 2".

It'd basically be configured as 2 2-axis, 2 button joysticks, and use the above assignments.

Time is a plaything,
But if it breaks,
You're f*****.
