I have a Sidewinder FFW (gameport), but i don't have any gameport connection on my laptop. I tested using a gameport to USB converter, set both as a 4 axis 4 button, and as a 2 axis 8 button game device, but i can't get it working under Win2k. Shouldn't this work just fine?
I've also been thinking of the possibility to just cut off the gameport connector, and cut the USB connector off a USB cable, and just solder it on the cables instead. I've opened the wheel and noted which cable goes to which pin in the gameport connector, so i just need to know what goes where in a USB connector. There are 9 small cables and one for earth. How is it with the USB version of the wheel? Or is the electronics inside different from the gameport to the USB version?
Anybody know if it would be possible to make this work at all?
