Help with Joystick
Posted: Thu May 20, 2010 5:29 pm
Dear KO-Family,
first of all, a big thank you! To see that this genious game has survived for such a long time makes me really happy!
By browsing on the Internet searching or old Amiga-Games, I came to your side, and I already played KO2 with keyboards (at least I made a draw in a single game ). By your advice I've ordered the good old Competition Pro (I always preffered the blue one) and when I took it our of the box, I felt like 1990 again... Best thing: My girlfriend is working out of town until tomorrow, so I have already planned a long computer evening with my favourite game and my favourite Stick.
Anyway, my problem is, that I'm not getting started with the Stick - I simply put it in an USB-Slot, the computer notices it and says it is installed. When I'm now starting the programme and choose either PC Joystick 0 or PC Joystick 1 and then start the Game there's unfortunately no reaction at all. As I have absolutely no experiences with Joysticks on PC-Systems (the last Joystick I used was on my Amiga 500) I have no idea what I have to do to make it work. If anyone can help me out I should be very thankful.
A few words to myself: My name is Josh (33), coming from southern Germany. I've played KO2 for years with a good friend of mine (we had a list on which we noticed every single result - at the end we have had over 2.000 Matches - unfortunately he won ). Anyway, as soon as I get it working I really want to get in touch with him again (he moved and we lost contact) and recommend him your genious site to download KO2 and get a Joystick and pretend it was 1990 again ...
If I get it started, who knows - maybe I see you guys in one of the competitions
Thanks for your help!
