I'm not sure the FreeDOS Forum is the correct place for this thread, since you can contact me directly (I wrote JOYKEYS). But, this may be useful for some other FreeDOS users, so here goes. Last night I downloaded ELITE and experimented some, and everything seemed to work fine for me, though I did not test extensively. I was using a USB gamepad and my USB drivers, which theoretically should be even less reliable (certainly more complicated) than using a "real" (game port attached) joystick. JOYKEYS worked fine for me with ELITE whether I used typing Method 1 or 3 (Method 2 has never worked on any computer I have ever had). Without more details, the only thing I can suggest is to make sure you you have the /K option selected in JOYKEYS -- you must have the /K option selected or the /Method:# option doesn't mean anything, and ELITE doesn't work unless you have the /K option selected. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For Developers, A Lot Can Happen In A Second.
