Hi
In windows racing games, its good to have separate axis for brakes and throttle. My MS ffbrw is recognised as 3 axis by windows (by default, nothing installed), so its great for windows games.
But if i wanna play some racing games with dosbox, i need throttle and brakes on one axis, otherwise it just doesnt work.
So for X its ok, i need Y and Z to be just "Y". Is that possible ?
thanks
Doesn't work at the moment unless you have some windows program that
does the remapping that way. Next version might be able to do arbitrary
joystick remapping.
Ok, thanks 😀
I've been looking for such a windows program, but didn't find any. Do you know of one ?
I cannot install the M$ software (bundled with the wheel) on my OS (not compatible with XP).

still waiting for a solution
🙁
then download 0.70
0.70 is what ive been using for months, but i just dont get it
I have to use the mapper i guess (nothing to do with the "swap axis" function
the full range of my Z axis would have to be seen as Y- (forward, i mean), and full Y axis as Y+, but dosbox doesnt seem to "see" my Z axis when i try to configure it as Y+ in the mapper
See the readme about the mapper.
Also be sure to use joysticktype=4axis.
thanks wd, but the readme doesnt teach me anything (or does it ?)
When i try to remap, the mapper doesnt "record" my Z axis depress (it keeps on waiting for input)
also, i dont understand why you told me to select 4axis, i dont want a 4axis joystick to be emulated, only 2
The readme has a section about remapping axes.
4axis==2axis in terms of target emulation (dos only has either one joystick
with two axes, or two joysticks with two axes), the 4axis just means that
you want only one (real) joystick to be active.
In the mapper, click on, say "Q" and then ADD, then move the joystick in the
direction of that first axis you want to remap. Do the same with, say "W"
for the second axis.
Save the mapper and move the joystick, see if it produces a Q and W accordingly.
but i was talking "axes", i want analog axes, say, map z to y+, why are you talking keyboard keys ?
and anyway, again, dosbox doesnt see my z axis (yes, even with "4axis" selected)
I must do something wrong 🙁

why are you talking keyboard keys ?
testing maybe?
Maybe the z-axis is no axis but some hat thing, dunno. You'd have to check
the SDL events what gets through when moving in that direction.
ah maybe
no solution then
thanks for the help anyway

7 years later and I still haven't solved my problem (except it's now with the xbox 360 controller) :p
