MS Sidewinder Force Feedback

Recommended Posts

I noticed that the MS FF joystick has been added to the works in Win2k list on the this site. How did you get it to work? What driver did you use? What build of Win2k? Any and all information would be greatly appreciated as I have not been able to get it to work on build 2072.

Go to Control Panel, Game Controllers.

Click Add

Select "Microsoft SideWinder (AutoDetect)"

Click OK.

This works for me with a FFP on 2072 and 2128, using the game port on my SB Live.

Well I have a SB Live also. What drivers are you using? I just let Win2k find the sound card and load what it thought were the appropriate drivers. I did add the game port though, I added "Standard Game Port". Perhaps this is where I messed up. What game port did you add?

Aha! This is a "the game port doesn't work" question.

 

The driver I have is called "Game Port for Creative", dated 23-Sep-99 version 5.0.0.0

The file itself is gameenum.sys version 5.00.2058.1

 

I don't remember installing it on it's own, so I can only assume it arrived with the SB Live drivers titled "Creative SB Live! Basic (WDM)" which I'm almost sure come with 2072.

 

You may need to uninstall your existing SB Live (and game port) support, and re-installing from scratch...
