smegy: I've noticed a few people mention this but I didn't spot any fixes apart from suggestions of using programs like Xpadder to emulate the controller.
Right, I too had the problem of the menu spinning when a controller was connected. This fixed it for me and I am hoping it does for others too.
This fix is for Tomb Raider 1
Find the
dosboxTR.conf file located in 'GOG.com\Tomb Raider 1 2 3\Tomb Raider 1'.
Open it up in notepad or another text editor.
Find the section marked
[joystick] (line 288 \ about 2/3rds way down).
Changed 'timed=true' to false
Save the file and launch the game.
As I've said this fixed it for me although there is no guarantee it will fix it for others I hope that it does.
Thank you, saved hours of getting annoyed & faffing with my PS1 versions.. i can finally enjoy this version without having to find my PS1 discs just to enjoy the game, i thought my problem was something in dosox or the middle program (input emulator) i was using & i vaguely remember hearing the fix ages ago on another forum somewhere.. but couldn't remember anything important to do with dosbox after not using it for years & the site i used i couldn't find..
