Hello, I have an old DOS game which I dearly love and my usb axiscolor pad won't work with it. The game runs fine, but it doesn't recognize my gamepad. I have re-loaded recently and once about a year ago I posted the same problem and someone had a wonderful solution that worked...I think it was a software of some sort, but not GameGain...I have tried that...sigh...I really wish to play this game with a gamepad so if anyone can help I would be very grateful. The game is God of Thunder.

1. Ann has too many kids to be a "dude" 2. She isn't running DOS 3. Seems like I remember the post but I can't find it and don't remember the solution. Same user name?

You can use this software. Its a keyboard emulator. When using it, it makes winodws think your pushing keys on the keyboard but in actuality your using a joystick/gamepad when this software is running.
I use it for a joystick in games that dont support joysticks such as farcry.
