DOS Games Discussion

can you please tell me how to get my gamepad to work in doom2
my op system is xp
my controller I have just brought is from pcworld called
PC LINE tournament pro
I think if I could get it to run in dos I might get it to work
how do you get into dos in xp?
any help would be most grateful
thanks

If it's USB, then I don't think that there's any way it could work. DOS can't detect USB, only serial. If it's serial port, then it should be a snap, though I wouldn't know what to do unless I were to twink around with it myself.

Make sure the controller is installed and properly working under DirectX (Control Panel, Gaming Options or whatever).

Then download and install the freeware game engine Doom95. Do a google search for it. It's a legitimate freeware add-on.

Then run Doom95 and configure your controller. Point the loader to the doom2.wad you have in your Doom2 folder and run the game.

Viola!
