Supported Operating Systems

Windows 98 and Me restrictions:

• PPJoy cannot properly share a Parallel Port with anything else. The PPJoy driver needs to be disabled (In Device Manager) when you need to use a port for something else.
• PPJoy setup cannot automatically install the required device drivers.
• You have to delete joysticks in the Game Controllers applet before deleting them using the PPJoy applet.

Note: The Windows 98/Me support is preliminary, and at this stage probably only for the brave.
Also note the following:

• Reboot before you install the Parallel Port Joystick Bus (PPJoyBus.sys) driver - if you don't your system may crash right after you finish the install.
• You may have to calibrate your joystick in the Game Controllers Control Panel applet.

• Installing the PPJoy driver
• Important notice about Driver Signing for Windows 2000 and XP users
• Possible warning messages due to Driver Signing
• Additional installation steps for Windows 98 and Me
• Opening the PPJoy Control Panel applet
• Configuring new joysticks in PPJoy
• Removing joysticks configured in PPJoy

• Amiga 4 Player
• CHAMPgames
• DirectPad Pro
• IanHarries
• Linux0802
• LinuxDB9c
• LPT JoyStick
• SNESkey2600
• STFormat
• Tormod
• TheMaze
• TurboGraFX

The following types are not (yet) supported. Support will be added on request.

• MULTIJOY
• PCAE

There are currently no plans to support gamepads. This is mainly because I don't own any gamepad hardware. For gamepad drivers you can look at these sites:

• NTPAD XP
• PSXPAD
• aldostools
