I just post this as a discussion topic and maybe something of the open source DOS USB driver/program can be useful someday for the OS/2 platform.įirst of all its the device driver it self that needs to communicate with the USB joystick or gamepad. The final idea will be to be able to support an USB gamepad under DOS VDM for old DOS games, but it seems we are still some steps behind. (So, in the end you can be able to play games that are supposed to use a game port joystick with an USB joystick).īret Johnson, that developed some USB device drivers for DOS ( ), answer me that it is possible with his driver, but under a very specific USB hardware set running FreeDOS. I asked on the FreeDOS mailinglist if there was something like a way to connect an USB gamepad and some "interpreter" that will allow old DOS games see it as a game port joystick. There was some fast comment about gamepads/joysticks and DOS old games.
