2 Sidewinders + DOS Advancemame = 2 players ? It's possible ?
(1/1)
tisurame:
If I get 2 Sidewinders, with second joystick linked with the first through daisy-chain, can I get 2 players under DOS ? Advancemame (DOS version) would recognize both joystick and allow me to play a normal 2 players game (each player using a different sidewinder of course)...

Trenchbroom:
Way back in the day (waaay back) I used to play DOS MAME with two sidewinders all of the time.  The trickiest part was finding a sound card with a game port that would support two sidewinders at once.

I had a Packard Bell P150 with some cheaply built sound/modem combo card and it played two sidewinders like a dream (ahh those glorious days of Callus--Sardu, why did you forsake us?).  Then when I upgraded to a home built computer I never could find another sound card that would allow me two play with two Sidewinders at once in DOS (Windows no problem).  I tried Ensoniq PCI (one Sidewinder only), Soundblaster 16 ISA (one Sidewinder only), Soundblaster AWE32 PCI (no gamepads at all in DOS)...you get my drift.
