It won’t map the joysticks or the analog axes to be precise. Phone sees the controller and everything works with Gamepad Tester. But when i try to map it in game, it kinda gets messy. I go into Gamepad and Tilt options, but it doesn’t give me the option to map axies. Is there any tutorial for it, can’t seem to find anything online that helps me. Tnx.
There is option left/right joystick. If you bind it in game which reads axix then you must enable “native joystick” in game profile

How to enable native joystick in game profile? Game only detects inputs, it doesn’t have a toggle button to turn joysticks on or off. The game is Nascar Racing.
Edit – If i go to this screen i can enable joystick but i can’t map anything to it.
I enabled 2 axis joystick emulation in the game configuration options on the main screen of magicDosbox, but still no luck. There is just no axis recognized by Magic Dosbox. In expert comands in config file joystick is set to none. Any help is appreciated.
Ok i reinstalled everything, controller is in Xbox mode and Magic Dosbox recognizes one joystick, but still no way to map second joystick or analog triggers.
In game profile is option : native two axis joystick emulation. Enable it.
Explanation – Magic Dosbox emulates complete PC. Game profile tells what for hardware is inside. In other words, enabling option above tells that you inserted old dos cable joystick into emulated pc and this joystick supports axis.
In mapper you define conversion of your modern xbox gamepad events to something what these old games understand. For example convert xbox axis to keyboard keys, mouse or old axis from dos era. You should see options left joystick/right joystick, like is on the picture in earlier post.
But this is not enough. Now you must take manual of your dos game and read how our daddies implemented joystick support. Usually you can skip this paper and you can start SETUP.EXE, INSTALL.EXE or similar program included in game’s directory. If the game supports joystick then it should be there. Dont be surprised if the game does not support axis. Only few old games support axis. Mostly there is support only for state 0,1. Dos games were stupid and plug and play did not exist. You must run setup and tell what you need.
Which game do you try?
Hey, thanks for the reply, i have some idea on how Dosbox works, i have Dosbox-x and Exodos on my PC.
The game is Nascar Racing and it supports 2 joysticks natively. only thing you can setup is the sound. When i enable native 2axis joystick emulation the game recognizes only one joystick (left) which calibrates in the game. I have controller with analog triggers and i would like to map them to the throttle and brake axis. I can do that no problem on PC in the Dosbox mapper, but i still haven’t figured out how to map axis of my controller to Magic Dosbox mapper (the controller i have has 6 axis, 2 joysticks and two triggers, so i would map joystick 1 to left joystick and joystick 2 to triggers). I can remap buttons and d-pad just fine.

I think this is not implemented now. There is support for two players in mapper when one player binds first 2axis and second player binds second 2axis. Maybe somehow magically it could work this way, but i am not sure. What is the joystick setup for nascar in dosbox-x config? Dosbox-x is much more updated in some ways.
In Dosbox-x you just enable 2 joysticks and map axis from a controller to them. You can map wheel and pedals, joysticks, whatever. It is convenient that Dosbox-x is very user friendly for noobs like me.
It has a mapper.map file with the commands, if it helps.

host “key 292”Thank you. And dosbox.conf can be exported? Do you use it? I need to see how looks the setup for [joystick] section.
Something like:
[joystick]
joysticktype=2axis
timed=false
