      @rawmessiah i figured out how to make the mapper work in prince of persia. In your .conf file under [joystick] you need to change

      timed=true 
      

      To:

      timed=false

            @rawmessiah if you already have the mapping of your joystick done your controller should already work.

              @edmaul69 Prince of Persia still doesn't work, I'm getting mad!

              So I tried with Tennis Elbow and... great, it works really fine and all the keys are perfectly responsive! Maybe a problem of that specific rom of PoP, who knows. I will try another version to check if it works fine.

              Really thanks for the support!

              A question: are you using a specifi .conf and .map for every game on DOSBOX? Just in case, where do you put the customized files for the single game?

              Thanks again!

                @rawmessiah you can copy the dosbox-SVN.conf directly to your /roms/pc/ folder and just modify and rename it for your game. Then duplicate, rename and modify for all your other dos games. That way you have a specific set of settings that you can configure on a per game basis.

                  @rawmessiah all of my games boot off of a .conf file. For example pop has a conf file in the rom folder called “Prince of Persia.conf”. At the bottom under [autoexec] you list the commands to boot the prince of persia game. If it needs a .map i change the option in the conf file from mapperfile=mapper-SVN.map to mapperfile=princeofpersia.map. And when you set up the mapping for pop when you save it will create a new map in the roms folder called princeofpersia.map. I will post my conf info a second.

                    @rawmessiah https://pastebin.com/HnKtWNb3 notice that my games are in ~/roms/pc/games/ to keep them separated from the .conf files i am using as my gamelist.

                        Guys, I will try different confs to see if even PoP will work.

                        In the meanwhile you discovered to me a whole world of possibilities!

                        Thanks again all for your help!
