I'm having problems mapping the controls for this game. Is there any support for gamepads such as the Saitek P2700? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am playing off the original cd-rom via dosbox.

No matter which version you have, as long as it's played via dosbox you can do this:

- Active your gamepad in your dosbox configuration
- PROTIP: Define a custom mapper file by including "mapperfile = timecommando.txt"
- User the mapper by pressing CTRL-F1
- click on the keyboard key you want to map to a gamepad button/axis
- click on "add" and press your desired gamepad button
- click on save

I got a Dual Shock 4 to work with it. Dosbox's mapper is a bit of a mess, referring to buttons quite differently from what Dosbox itself actually does. Also, it doesn't support that many buttons, higher numbered buttons are aliased into a mess.

Well, anyway, open up your dosboxTimeCommando.conf and add a line "mapperfile=mapper.txt"

and here's your mapper.txt file:
