To use the joystick, you must bring down the console by pressing the

JamesK · 05-24-2004, 03:43 AM

joystick with "joystick 0<enter>" at any time. The joystick setting

switches:

This will almost certainly solve your problem; however, it may result

If the above command line does not fix your problems, try:
