rookie7: I have a problem with an none working joystick as well. Can't move to the left, even though it seemed ok when configuring the device. Joystick is a Competition pro USB. Any help is very appreciated.
I found a possible solution for those that can't move to the left!

In your game directory, there is a file called "dosbox_SWOS.conf". Open it with a text editor and change the following line in the [joystick] section:

Change
timed=true

to
timed=false

Save it, configure your joystick(s) by running settings et voila!
In my case my issue with not being able to use left was solved and I could use both my joysticks (XBOX 360 and XBOX One controller)

Amazing, this did the trick for me! Thank you so much, I never would have figured this out on my own.

I have a 360 controller and run this game on Linux. I use the DPAD for direction and "A" button for kick/select:

1) Edit the dosbox_SWOF.conf file in the install directory. In the [Joystick] section, change "joysticktype" from "auto" to "fcs". If you don't do this, you won't be able to use the DPAD in the game. You can still map an analogue stick, but they don't handle diagonals well. Mapping the DPAD works better.

2) Start the game and immediately press "Ctrl+F1" to bring up the mapper.

3) Click the "Up arrow" key on the screen. Select "Add" then press "Up" on the DPAD.

4) Repeat for the left, right and down arrows.

5) Click on the "Ctrl" button, select "Add" and map whatever pad button you want to use to kick

6) Select "Save" then "Exit". A file called "mapper-SVN.map" will be added to your install directory

7) Play the game!

I haven't tried this on Windows or OSX, but it works for me on my Linux setup. Hope it works for you.
i tried to alter the dosbox file and i calibrated my pad

when i load the game my pad responds but on the screen the control is very jumpy and keeps pulling to the right and down....


does anyone know any idea to fix this?

i have an xbox pc controller and just a normal 2 button old nintendo usb
Hi.

I followed the suggestions to edit the conf filemfrom above, but I changed the line cycles from auto to 10000. Like this:
cycles=10000

That solved it for me

Solves everything!
