First off, I use a laptop that heats up and tends to burn my wrist when i play FPS games (due to the position of the WASD keys) so to circumvent this (as I've no money for a gaming rig) I plug in a wired 360 controller and use Pinnacle Game Profile (Gamepad) to map keys and create a profile for specific games.
It's normally quite easy and works a treat but this is the first game I've run that uses DOSBox. I've set it all up and made a custom mapped profile, linking it to the shortcut so the game launches when I run the profile. My problem is that It doesn't actually launch the Dark Forces game, it launches DOSbox.
I'm not technically inclined and would prefer (due to lack of understanding) not to mess with Gogs Dark Forces DOSbox setup, so I've come to ask if anyone is familiar with a way to setup my 360 controller to play Dark Forces with minimal fuss (and If they'd be willing to explain how) or If anyone is familiar with Pinnacle and knows how to make it launch Dark Forces (whether through DOSbox or by bypassing it) so I can finally play it.
To add, I've tried to directly launch the Dark Forces .exe named DARK in the main folder through Pinnacle, but it requires the Dark Forces floppy (which adds to why I'd rather not mess with what gog's done to make it all run on modern systems) so that seems to be a no-go route.
Any help would be grand and apologies if this is dealt with somewhere else but google isn't helping.
Cheers
