Heh Martin!

Hi Mark

Just for my records and wiki pages, can you please let me know the list of the joystick devices that you have that you consider that are working fine?

On my side I have:
- Huskee PSX Adapter - 0c12:0005
- PCS SNES Gamepad - 0810:e501

According to you guide you have:
- Logilink Gameport to USB converter
- Thrustmaster T. Flight Stick X

And I guess that Wim Brul tested the:
- Manta MM812

Mark, can you help me with the HardwareIDs for your two devices?

By the way, I think I will have some time this Saturday and I will go and check all the OS/2 Native games from my OHFOWG project to look for more games with joystick support.

Regards

Will get to this at some point, Sir - had a death in the family on Nov. 11 (Lou Gehrigs disease - ALS) so dealing with it as it is Annes former brother-in-law from a former marriage - in this year one thing at a time - with your dad I know you'll understand and Best!

Hi

For the moment I had found the following native games with some kind of joystick support. But my results had not been stable or good at the moment.

    BUGS (execute bugs.exe -j or -j2) - It goes to the right.
    Cosmic Defender -  Joystick calibrates, but the game crash when I try to run the first level
    OS2Doom  -
    Doom - Dive -
    Makman - Works
    Rescue from Kedk
    Semtex
    Targ
    TOB Demo
    ToyLand
    Tunnel Wars

I will keep testing and let you know.

Hello

I'm concern about Wim Brul. His last post here was on 2022-12-21 and I have been writing him since April with no reply.
I don't know if someone had been chatting with him or maybe know his phone number. I just want to know he is doing fine.

I had thought of contacting him to get him back on board with USB but I haven't done so.

It might be possible that he is doing fine but personal reasons holding him back from again getting engaged with OS/2. If he didn't answer you, it might be better to leave him alone.

Hi

Wim replied me back, there was an issue with his email and it is taking some time to reply.
So, he is fine.

That's good to hear.
I notice that Mark has also sorta vanished, though he would be currently busy with the fires in Alberta, that is recent.
