 MultiJoy - Multi Joystick Hardware and Programming   Christof Ruch 25.03.1994

The Multi Joystick Interface is a device that makes it possible to connect up to six digital joysticks (Atari type) to the parallel port of your PC. For test (or two player gaming) purposes, two joysticks can be emulated by the keyboard, so you can try out the games before you actually decide to build an interface.

What is all that stuff about? ----------------------------- We are talking about a great invention that adds a new dimension to PC gaming. If you belong to the big group of people who always missed two player games on the PC, let us tell you that the unhappy times are over. The Multi Joystick Interface makes it possible to play games with not just two, but with up to six players simultaneously. As you will discover, six player games are even more fun than two player games. Dig out all your old Atari or Commodore joysticks, as you will never need to worry about malfunctioning analogue joysticks again. To put it in more sober words: The Multi Joystick Interface is a device that makes it possible to connect up to six digital joysticks (Atari type) to the parallel port of your PC. For test (or two player gaming) purposes, two joysticks can be emulated by the keyboard, so you can try out the games before you actually decide to build an interface. In this software package, you find: a) the description you need for building a multi joystick interface b) test programs useful for checking your interface c) Pascal and C routines you can use to develop software for the interface Don't miss the games, they are not included in this package. You can find them at ftp.tu-clausthal.de /pub/msdos/games/multijoy For those of you without ftp access, there is also a mail server. Just mail a message with 'help' as body to mail-server@ftp.tu-clausthal.de to see how it works.
