Since I started using GOG Galaxy, I could never figure out how to configure Dosbox beyond graphical configurations. Where are the joystick options? They used to just be in the config. The lack of joystick options has rendered Tyrian 2000 completely unplayable with my arcade stick. I'm trying to set my joystick to timed=false. Help?

You can try editing dosbox.conf manually. The option you're looking for is in the [joystick] section. Here's the example with commented options:

[joystick]
# joysticktype: Type of joystick to emulate: auto (default), none,
# 2axis (supports two joysticks),
# 4axis (supports one joystick, first joystick used),
# 4axis_2 (supports one joystick, second joystick used),
# fcs (Thrustmaster), ch (CH Flightstick).
# none disables joystick emulation.
# auto chooses emulation depending on real joystick(s).
# (Remember to reset dosbox's mapperfile if you saved it earlier)
# Possible values: auto, 2axis, 4axis, 4axis_2, fcs, ch, none.
# timed: enable timed intervals for axis. Experiment with this option, if your joystick drifts (away).
# autofire: continuously fires as long as you keep the button pressed.
# swap34: swap the 3rd and the 4th axis. can be useful for certain joysticks.
# buttonwrap: enable button wrapping at the number of emulated buttons.

joysticktype=auto
timed=true
autofire=false
swap34=false
buttonwrap=false
Just change timed=true to timed=false.

That's just it. The only conf file in the folder doesn't have a joystick section.

It's just a config file. Shouldn't you just be able to copy and paste that section in? I'd check for you so it's not just a guess, if I owned a joystick; but I don't, sorry.

No problem, just add the section yourself. You can use the one from my previous post, only change the value of timed variable as suggested.
