Sensible Soccer - cant get joy stick to work

[Kaka Tim]

Bit of a long shot this.

Just downloaded sensible world of soccer from GOG - but to get the joystick to work with it you have to download a patch (swss++). But I cant find it anywhere - all the links on the fan forums are dead and protracted google searches got nowhere.

Anyone got a copy of the patch - or any links?

Would love to roll back the years with the ol' sensi soccer - but you jsut cant do this playing on the key board.

cheers in advance!

Tried this again - and found I can configure the joystick but it wont go left when you try and play the game. This is a recognised problem - but the solution they offer doesn't work with my joystick. Grrrrrr......

I don't think SWSS++ is a patch as such. It appears that if you run SWOS with the commandline SWOS++ it just launches the joystick configuration. DOSBOX is a MS-DOS PC emulator, and is required to run old DOS games e.g. Sensible Soccer.
