Wing Commander 3 on WinXP
Any chances there?  I've got the original game as released in a DOS format...am I totally stuck there?  The other problem being that I have a USB joystick....obviously not going to be recognized.

indeed it is a big problem. The only way I can help you there is uploading my WC3 Win 95 installation. You can use your old WC3 discs to play the game.

Tolwyn’s reputation for risk taking with other people’s lives was considered  to understate the facts. The admiral’s willingness to sacrifice anyone or anything to achieve his objectives had long been lauded in the popular press. He was “the man who got things done”.- Colonel Blair

The only reason why I cant play it on XP is because of my soud card wich causes the game to be umplayable (but run'able).

I can play it on my older celeron 333 wich I gave it over to my sister

Might I suggest VDMSound  and Abandon Loader  or maybe they'll have support for more of the WC games in future versions of DOSBox .

Though, I don't have the DOS versions of WC 1-4 anymore since I have WC: KS and WC4 DVD I haven't been able to try and run the DOS version with Abandon Loader.

And I have a USB joy also and the games or most I have played with Abandon Loader have detected it.

Was actually just playing the original X-Wing the other night with it . :D

using my sisters celeron with win98 USB sticks were still usable, though not programable.

It would have been nice for WC: KS to be released on DVD. (If it was, then I'll start looking for a DVD copy of it)
