Un petit brin de nostalgie pour les passionnés de vintage tech : le pad QuickShot QS-191 pour PC (1995). 👾
À l'époque où le Gameport DA-15 régnait en maître sur nos cartes Sound Blaster, cette manette tentait le pari d'amener le feeling console sous MS-DOS. Mention spéciale au sélecteur physique de Turbo Fire au centre, indispensable pour survivre aux Shoot 'em up de l'époque sans choper une tendinite.
Quelle était ta première manette PC ?

Commander Keen mit Gameport Adapter und GamePad auf dem Handy spielen
Mit dem Open Source Gameport-Adapter von @necroware kann man alte Gameport Joysticks und Gamepads nicht nur auf dem PC zu einem "zweiten Leben" verhelfen, sondern auch auf einem Handy oder Tablet damit spielen.

Turns out my PC was too recent to play nice with a PCI Sound blaster game port; older Dell with Debian 12 and janky setup to the rescue. I managed to successfully test all 5 analog joysticks and half the gamepads at least as two button game controllers.

Okay, I have two PCI SoundBlaster cards with a gameport - both cards work fine as sound cards on Ubuntu 24.04, but no success using a joystick on the gameport.
Anyone know of a live usb Linux distro version that supports the legacy gameport? Preferably something that is less than 15 years old. Only doing this to test old joysticks/gamepads so it doesn't have to be good at anything else.
Thank you.
Edit: please only answer if you have personal experience with the above (PC gameport controllers on Linux); looking up possible solutions on search engines and testing them out is something I've already done, which is why I'm asking here.

I'm avoiding a tough soldering job on the giant #GravisGamePad project, so here's my home-made, proof-of-concept #Audigy #Gameport
adapter - soon, owners of a #CreativeLabs #SoundBlaster SB0240, SB0350, SB0360, SB0900 or SB0090 card (I *think* this covers the compatibility list) will have somewhere to plug in their Gravis GamePads*!*Other brands of gamepad are available.
