<a name="faq1"><b>Q: To what mode should I configure my parallel port?</b></a></br>
<b>A:</b> PPJoy should be able to able to work with your parallel port in SPP, EPP or ECP modes.
When running PPJoy will try to switch the port to SPP mode. In some cases it may
be necessary to configure your parallel port to SPP in your computer's BIOS setup.<p>
If there is an IRQ assigned to your printer port you may also want to make sure
that it is unique - i.e. not shared with other devices.<p>

<a name="faq2"><b>Q: Do I really need an adapter for my joystick?</b></a></br>
<b>A:</b> Yes. No joystick plugs directly into the parallel port because the connectors
are different. Most of the adapters are very simple and just connects the joystick signals
to the right parallel port pins. You can either build or buy one.<p>
Even though your joystick connector fits in the serial port it will not work since the
signals are very different.<p>
<div align="right"><a href="#toc"><font size=1>Back top the top</font></a></div>
<a name="faq3"><b>Q: Which interface (adapter) should I build?</b></a></br>
<b>A:</b> This depends on the type of controller and how many of them you want to use.
Obviously you will want to build an interface that supports at least the number of
controllers you plan to use.<p>
For 1-2 digital joysticks the <a href="Diagrams/Amiga4Player.htm">Amiga4Player</a>
interface is probably a good interface to build unless you want to use the adapter
with Linux as well. Then look at the <a href="Diagrams/Linux0802.htm">Linux0802</a>
or <a href="Diagrams/LinuxDB9c.htm">LinuxDB9c</a> interfaces.<p>
<div align="right"><a href="#toc"><font size=1>Back top the top</font></a></div>
<a name="faq4"><b>Q: The PPJoy diagram for an adapter looks different from the original...</b></a></br>
<b>A:</b> All the original interface diagrams have been redrawn for PPJoy to give them
all a consistent look-and-feel. In some instances the interfaces have also been modified
to add support for extra buttons. PPJoy should work just fine with the adapter as
presented on the original author/designer's webpage.<p>
<div align="right"><a href="#toc"><font size=1>Back top the top</font></a></div>
<a name="faq5"><b>Q: Is PPJoy compatible with adapters for Linux?</b></a></br>
<b>A:</b> Yes. The adapters with the word <b>Linux</b> in them are exactly the same
adapters used by the Linux joystick drivers. The idea was that you could use the
same adapter for both Operating Systems.<p>
<div align="right"><a href="#toc"><font size=1>Back top the top</font></a></div>
<a name="faq6"><b>Q: Is PPJoy compatible with adapters for DirectPad Pro?</b></a></br>
<b>A:</b> Yes. PPJoy supports the older DirectPad Pro adapters for people migrating
from Windows 95/98/Me to Windows 2000/XP.<p>
<div align="right"><a href="#toc"><font size=1>Back top the top</font></a></div>
<a name="faq7"><b>Q: I think the adapter or PPJoy damaged my computer or parallel port</b></a></br>
<b>A:</b> I did not want to know that! Whilst PPJoy or the interfaces presented here should
not harm your computer there are no guarantees. You use PPJoy entirely at your own risk!<p>
<div align="right"><a href="#toc"><font size=1>Back top the top</font></a></div>
<a name="faq8"><b>Q: What diode is used in the joystick adapters? </b></a></br>
<b>A:</b> The adapters all use 1N4148 diodes but just about any other signal diode should work.<p>
<div align="right"><a href="#toc"><font size=1>Back top the top</font></a></div>
<a name="faq9"><b>Q: Can I change the way PPJoy assigns my joystick buttons? </b></a></br>
<b>A:</b> Yes. You can completely change the way that PPJoy assigns buttons and axes. You can
even use buttons as axes and vice versa. See the <a href="UserManual/Mapping.htm"> Mapping </a>
section of the PPJoy user manual.<p>

<a name="faq10"><b>Q: Why can't I use the FMS PPM interface under Windows 98/Me? </b></a></br>
<b>A:</b> Windows 98 and Windows ME does not provide the parport.sys driver like Windows 2000/XP.
PPJoy emulates some of this driver's functions using W98Ports.sys - but this driver does not
provide the IRQ hooking functions of parport.sys.<p>
If somebody cares to write the IRQ functions for W98Ports.sys then PPJoy will support the FMS
PPM interface on Windows 98 as well...<p>

<a name="faq11"><b>Q: Yellow exclamation mark over "Parallel Port Joystick Bus" icon, Error code 2,
in Device Manager. </b></a></br>
<b>A:</b> This error may occur on Windows 98 and Windows ME. It happens when Windows cannot find the
"NTKERN.VXD" file. The reason for this is that it is not installed. It seems that Windows 98 only
installs this file when USB support is installed. Try installing USB support.<p>

<a name="faq12"><b>Q: PPJoy Control Panel error message "Cannot open the Parallel Port Joystick Bus
Enumerator." </b></a></br>
<b>A:</b> For some reason the PPJoyBus.sys driver is not properly started. There can be a few reasons
for this. One might be that you are attempting to run the PPJoy Control Panel without installing
PPJoy with the setup application. Another reason might be that the drivers were not installed
because driver signing prevented them from being installed. It might also be that the PPJoy
setup could not find the support DLLs it needs.<p>
On Windows 98 and ME you need to manually install the PPJoyBus.sys driver.<p>
Look in Device Manager under "Sound, video and game controllers". You should see a device called
"Parallel Port Joystick Bus". If it
