.. note:: A generic game port card is emulated if the machine has no game ports (either built-in or as part of a Plug and Play or PCI sound card) to accomodate the selected controller. This generic card uses the default I/O ports 200-207h, which can be changed through ISA Plug and Play. On IBM PCjr and PS/1 machines, the generic card uses port 201h only and has no Plug and Play capability.
