Problems with Joystick and Games
What should I do if my joystick does not work?
1. The audio card's joystick port may conflict with the system's
joystick port. Disable the audio card's joystick port and use
the system port instead. Refer Install Joystick under chapter
4 if you are using Windows NT.
2. If you are having a problem with external joystick or game
port, make sure that the Joystick is enabled and the
Windows 9x Gameport Joystick drivers are loaded and
working properly in the Device Manager. You can test your
joystick by clicking on Game controller icon in the
Control Panel.
3. In order to use two joysticks, you will need to use a
SoundBlaster-compatible Y-connector (such as Radio
Shack part # 26-380), or use an industry-standard MIDI
Joystick kit. This will make allowances for the proper direct
connections for dua joysticks.
What should I do if I have problem with playing games?
Make sure that you have the game set up in a music option that the
SF256-PCP PCI sound card supports i.e. use SF256-PCP
Internal FM in the Multimedia properties' MIDI tab. If your
game takes advantage of DirectX or DirectSound be sure that you
have the latest DirectX installed.
