I have a Microsoft Sidwinder Gamepad that works with MorphOS games, but is not seen at all in DOSBox. I downloaded Joytest for DOS and it doesn't see it at all. I've looked at the DOSBox documentation and tried tinkering with the config file, but no help. Here is what i am currently using.

joysticktype=4axis
timed=true
autofire=false
swap34=false
buttonwrap=false

Thoughts?

On a slightly related topic, I suffer from the same symptom on MAME.
Is there a way to ensure gamepad has been selected as the default input method?
