VDM Sound work's great with USB Joystick's.
For Wing commander III and IV you might have to use the alternate Joystick routines.
For Wing commander III and IV you might have to use the alternate Joystick routines.
Here are the steps to get Wing Commander III and IV running (for me).
1. Right-click the WC3.EXE (on the first CD) and select "Run with VDMS".
2. Select the second Option "Set up a custom configuration"
3. ..."Create a new configuration from scratch".
4. ...(Advanced)
5. Under the "Compatibility" tab you deselect "Enable expanded memory (EMS)" and select "Enable low-level CD-ROM support (MSCDEX)".
6. Under the "Joystick" tab you click on "Inputs mapping..." and choose one of the joy*.map files. (You can take a look at the joy*.map files with your text editor and even simply make your own one)
7. Close the VDM Sound configuration with a click on "OK".
8. Deselect "Remember my settings", select "Add a shortcut to my desktop" and finish it.
9. You will now be presented with the Install-Screen of the Game.
Even though it's pretty straight forward I will tell you the right sound settings.
Card = Soundblaster/Compatibles
I/O = 220
IRQ = 7
DMA = 1
10. After the installation you can copy the "Alternate Joystick Routines" you can download for WC3 and WC4 into C:\WC3 (or your WC4 folder) and double-click it.
11. All you need to do to run the Game now is to double-click the shortcut on your desktop.
Please try this and tell me if you still got problems.
