Joystick

Hello,

First of all thanks for this great website!

Secondly, does anyone know if there is a way to ad a joystick to you classic emulator (sys 7.5.5) under XP or OSX?

I am a fan of the hellcats flight sim ( and other oldschool flght sims ) but i want to play with a stick. Currently i am useing basilisk II.

I might run arround the net and try to find a controll panal that supports joysticks, hopeing it will support a modern logitech joystick.

Anyway if anyone has any tips please let me know. If no one knows ill keep you posted on my own succes or failiure to make it work.

(sorry for my poor english)

I remember the ADB joystick MouseStick II, which came with pre-defined game settings.

Wow, i forgot the name, but indeed my dad got me that stick when i was young. It was great fun to use. It was a great stick as i remember it survived atleast 10 jears of reckles play. It even had an adjustable force setting. Good old times.

Anyway maybe i can steal the settings somewhere and use it

Ha, i found the gravis mousstick software (v 3.3.2) but the controll panal will not work. I thought it might be conflicting with other extensions and panals but it turns out if it is the only controll panal that i let boot up it still freeses on startup. I might figure out a way arround..... hmmm

SheepShaver and Basilisk II don't support USB ports (or any other ports), so using a joystick with either of those emulators could be difficult.
