- | If you are experiencing lockups, bad calibration data, or any |
- | other problems concerning joystick calibration, you may want |
- | to give this alternate set of routines a try. |
- +---------------------------------------------------------------+
-
- Included in this archive are two files :
-
- README.TXT This file
- WC3JOY.DLL The alternate joystick routines
-
- This alternate joystick DLL (set of alternate routines) is
- being provided for users who are experiencing problems with
- Wing Commander III's initial joystick calibration phase
- during the install program. You must have a joystick to
- use this patch.
-
- NOTE : THIS PATCH MAY NOT WORK FOR EVERYONE. If the current
- joystick routines work fine, DO NOT use this patch.
-
-
- Installation
- ------------
-
- 1) Disconnect your joystick.
-
- 2) Type "MD C:\WC3" and press [ENTER]. If the directory
- already exists, no harm done.
-
- 3) Copy the WC3JOY.EXE file to your C:\WC3 directory.
- Type "COPY WC3JOY.EXE C:\WC3" and press [ENTER].
-
- 4) Change to the C:\WC3 directory.
- Type "C:" and press [ENTER].
- Type "CD \WC3" and press [ENTER].
-
- 5) Type "WC3JOY" and press [ENTER].
-
- 6) The two files (README.TXT and WC3JOY.DLL) will be extracted.
-
- 7) Reconnect your joystick.
-
- 8) Run the Wing Commander III installation program with
- "WC3 -I". The message :
-
- "Loading Wing Commander III ......
- Alternate joystick DLL loaded."
-
- should appear. This shows the loading of the DLL was
- successful. Recalibrate your joystick, and make sure all
- settings are correct.
-
- 8) Whenever WC3 is now run, it will load the WC3JOY.DLL file
- in the C:\WC3 directory. You do not need to run the
- installation program every time to use the patch, just
- use WC3. The patch loads automatically.
