Reguarding the joystick question: I went out and got ANOTHER Colorado Spectrum Gameport based on the responses here. I did manage to get it to work (make sure you have power allocated to your serial port kiddies...) and have used it with X-Wing. It didn't work with NHL Hockey or Sphere of Destiny. Unfortunatly it is pretty much software driven, and we need to rely on game manufacturers for a "patch" to get it to work. A point on the TP750 sound chip, I installed the latest version of the audio drivers, and had two major problems: 1. Running certian programs, like Norton Change Directory with the emulation program installed, well, as soon as I hit enter it reboots my machine. Tech support had no answers. 2. It really messes up the speed of the sound. I was trying to use Soundblaster emulation in X-Wing, and aside from most of the sound being really messed up, and the speed being at a crawl, when we got to scenes of people speaking it was like some bad Marital Arts movie. The words came seconds after the lips moved. So should I expect a better patch soon? One that dosen't require me to make a special boot disk to use (I had to unload about EVERYTHING to fit it into memory and have enough for most games) I find myself thinking over and over, "Should I switch to OS/2?" (I have 20MB of memory, not that DOS or windows cares...) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Darren Patrick McCabe "Hal" | Mail: Halinatr@gwis.circ.gwu.edu | |-------------------------------|------------------------------------------| | Work: Gnossos Software, Inc | School: The George Washington University | | 1625 K St, NW, Suite 410 | Graduate School of Political Management| | Washington, DC 20006 | PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor #57901 | |--------------------------------------------------------------------------| | "I want to decide who lives and who dies" - Crow T.
