Anyone ever use this thing to play Xwing or TIE Fighter? Cause those don't work with the builtin DOS shell that comes with XP, at least for me. Either the joystick wasn't detected, or it flew too fast....etc etc.
However, while I was browsing through some wikipedia articles on old games, I came across a reference to DOSBox that's made to play the old games that can't or won't run on newer machines. I took a look, and it appears that it does support both games, but I figured I'd see if anyone here had used it first.

Just in case anyone else was interested. Cause if it works, and works well, maybe some copies could be sent to other folks who want to take a trip down memory lane.
