| 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! |
