GrIP User’s Guide
GamePad Emulation
In DOS, the MultiPort defaults to GamePad Emulation.
GamePad Emulation allows you to use your GrIP-Pad or other GrIP
controllers with games that have no built-in support for Gravis GrIP.
When the MultiPort is set for GamePad Emulation, the bi-color LED
on its GrIP connector wing lights up red. (Software that supports
Gravis GrIP automatically switches the MultiPort into GrIP Mode;
when this happens, the GrIP LED lights up green.)
GamePad Emulation is restricted to four button functions on one
controller or two button functions on two controllers. Even in
GamePad Emulation, however, your GrIP-Pad offers a variety of
control options. See the next chapter,
for your GrIP-Pad in GamePad Emulation. If
you have another type of GrIP controller, see its manual to determine
its button functions in GamePad Emulation.

If your game port is substandard,
and supports only one controller
and two buttons, GamePad

by the capabilities of the game
port.
