are there any windows 3.1 joystick drivers that support more than 2 controlers?
The original game port controller has hardware for only two
sticks. You would have to make a card at an alternate address,
then make a driver for the alternate address.
no one ever made a win16 driver for more than 2 joysticks? if no one has ever done it
then there is no standard
and I'll just have to make them as I likeif one has been made
I'll see if I can make my drivers to followthough its handy for analog joysticks
you dont need an ibm joystick portjust about any port will work
lpt,com,usb,etc...thanks for the help
A similar situation exists for the mouse. Only one mouse
pointer on the screen. In the case of the mouse you can have
more than one mouse but they all control the same pointer.
It depends on whether you want a digital or analog interfaced
joystick. A standard joystick card can be easily modified for
alternate io address the interrupt a little harder. Using a digital
board would allow the creation of more sticks. 1 line per button
and 4 per stick Your driver has to do the polling and other
housekeeping.
thanks for the help made a test multiple joystick driver wrapper
http://win31.no-ip.org/freeware/new...works ok with 5 controlers
you want a secondary mouse pointer?
give me a example of how you would get the data from the second mouse
and I'll give you a win3x example of how I would use it ;)
works ok with 7 controlers a slight speed limitation is caused by by the resolution of the slowest controler return
have to adjust driver design for hardware that requires initilization
for high speed joy resolution perhaps a
joy over lpt interlink would be good...
made a driver that can make use of a secondary joystick port address

http://win31.no-ip.org/freeware/new...created a program to enable the creative audio pci gameport
the port can be configured at several locations
http://win31.no-ip.org/freeware/new...now I need some one with 2 analog joysticks to test it :P
wat say?
Well done, Watler! It is very good that there is someone out there who is able to write drivers for Win 3.1. Keep up the good effort!
well done?
you managed to get it working?then I'll update it
http://win31.no-ip.org/freeware/new...effort?
I'll let you wrastle with that onecreated an game controller driver for a com port (for up to 8bits of input)
bet ya cant get this one to work ;)
