Installation Instructions - Part A
==================================
A1. Ensure that USBECD.SYS has been installed.
A2. Put the following line in your CONFIG.SYS file:
(Use the proper drive and directory for your system).
DEVICE=H:\OS2\BOOT\USBECD.SYS /D:0C12:0005:0001 /N:$HUSKEE$ /V
A3. Reboot your system.
A4. Run OINPUT.CMD and watch gamepad events in hexadecimal format.
Use Ctrl+C to end this procedure.
Once this is working I would like you to do the following:
---------------------------------------------------------
A5. Run OINPUT.CMD > BUTTON.LOG and press available buttons
(one at a time, after each other, and tell me which ones)
Use Ctrl+C to end this procedure.
A6. Run OINPUT>CMD > STICK.LOG and press stick to different positions
(one at a time, after each other, and tell me what positions)
Use Ctrl+C to end this procedure.
Send me files BUTTON.LOG and STICK.LOG for me to inspect.

Hi Mark
I tried xeventsF1d.cmd , I changed the NAME and HardwareID, but I get no output from it.
I tried back the xevents.cmd (RM203) and it keeps giving me some output.

Hi Martin!Hi
It was time to also give a test drive to the "Genius MaxFighter F-31U Vibration" with ArcaOS.
I took the "RM203" files and copy it as "MAXFIG".
Added:
QuoteDEVICE=X:\OS2\BOOT\USBECD.SYS /D:0458:3019:0100 /N:$MAXFIG$ /VChanged the oinput and xevents and I got some output there.
But I overestimated the difference between a joystick and gamepad. It seems that the joystick has something different that is always "pressing". Even that I got different visual feedback when I press the buttons, I was not able to make Makman and Wolfstein 3D to work with the RM203 scripts, also the DOS game joytest utilities does not provide any movement.
I'm attaching the scripts and log just in case.
Regards
Did you try modifying the Xeventsf1d.cmd file that Wim created for me? (I've attached it again below but included it in a separate post to Dave Yeo previously)
I don't know which Xevents is present in the most current RM203 file, but the MaxFighter looks very similar to the T.Flight X in configuration, so the changes there may settle things down. The MaxFighter schematic seems very similar to the T.Flight, being kind of a cross between a joystick and a gamepad
Some of that may also be due to calibration - the Mk2 and T.Flight X have sometimes needed to be re calibrated when one or the other is used in a game.
Some Joysticks can also be really sensitive - the new T. Flight has a tension adjustment on the bottom which I have cranked up to max, as I'm used to the heavy springs on the Mk2.
Funny Note: I had to check the online dictionary to know what is a "Rudder" and I still does not know what does it do on a Joystick
The T. Flight actually has a Throttle control on the base which is a slider.
The Mk II was actually part of a Flight Control System, which also included a separate plug-in throttle. The latest systems have a Joystick, separate Throttle, Foot peddles for rudder control, sometimes even what is called a "collective" lever for helicopter control (adjusts the rotors so the helicopter doesn't spin out of control - its also the way to control direction) - I know one fellow who even has a custom chair to surround himself with all the controls - WILD!

AH-HA! That's probably exactly the cause of my issue then. I wonder if netlabs would accept a 'build-essentials' RPM metapackage that would install all of the needed packages (gcc, etc).
I don't see why not, they might have some ideas about what it should contain.
I'm sure memory is getting short, yep 94 MB shared low memory.
You are welcome to the rain, though it looks like it is leading to a state of emergency with the snow melt. Still grey, wet and cold here, just had to light a fire, which is almost never needed in June. At least the cold has slowed down the snowmelt here.
Good luck and hopefully no flooding
Heh Dave!
Yea, I'm 60 and finding it hard crawling under the truck, especially the getting up part
At least you still can get up ............. <grin>
And BTW thanks for the rain .......... had one hell of a thunderstorm last night to start (Thor was throwing around Mjolnir pretty liberally, battling Frost Giants and knocking out power everywhere).
Expecting 135 mm in the next 3 days so we'll be building an ark as well in Alberta, to join you guys in BC.
Best!
