      OK, so I'm rebuilding my Retropie (exterior HD failed (yes, I've learned to back up)), and I'm neck deep in my rebuild. At getting the classic PC games to work.

      I can get 'Red Baron' working in DOSbox Staging. But, when I go to options, it doesn't let me turn on joystick (wired XBox controller). It does let me turn on/off mouse.

      Anyone get this game working on Retropie w/controller support, and have any ideas/workarounds?

      Thanks!

        @mbrett You should give lr-dosbox-pure a try.
        I have not tried it with Red Baron, but it works great on all the Aces of the Pacific games and more.
        A lot of games have joypad supported out of the box, but if not, it has a virtual keyboard with an option to map your joypad controls to whatever key you want.
        Just hit L3 in game and look for Pad Mapper.

          @RapidEdwin08 Man, did that ever do the trick! Worked right out of the box! No typing out anything in DOS to start or anything! Thanks!

          Now, I just have to read the manual and find what the controls are. I believe I flew back to England during my first mission. :)
