Crash Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Well not totally free just postage. I was convinced that my soundcard had a gameport socket until I tried to plug my MS FFB stick in! So any one interested? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klinger Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Didn't MS supply a gameport to USB adapter with the force feedback stick?. I have one somewhere, you are welcome to it foc m8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Posted September 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Thanks for the offer, I looked on Ebay but the gameport to USB do not work on Sidewinder FFB I was convinced the the soundcard had a game port but that was the OLD card! The motherboard has a gameport header but I can't find the cable to connect to it so its back to Ebay. My X52 is ok but I fancy trying a FFB stick.

Fireman Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 dont try it brother..........once you do you'll never go back. You dogz will see a grown man cry (over a toy) when mine breaks. Maybe I should be doing what BG and Pooka have been doing (hiding a closet full), just in case mine does break. Time to start scouring eBay or GoGamer.........

Blairgowrie Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Go Gamer won't ship out of US. Get one of our US m8's to buy it and they can ship it to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1. DDz Quorum Sid Posted September 3, 2008 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 I thought you meant the soundcard too.... I get really p@##ed off on ebay with the MS FFB sticks - I've bid for one many a time (UK) but always loose it, sometimes at the last minute. I must have tried eight over the past year. The price over here ends up about £90 on ebay so I don't bother bidding now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_O_A_D Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 I've got both types here, USB and game port. Game port is in the closet. Just go buy yourself an cheap pci Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyKnight Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Just a reminder to others, like myself, who have the old MS Force Feedback Pro sticks with the Gameport connector; all these gameport-to-usb connectors you see on eBay, dirt cheap, are 99% certain not to work with these sticks. As usual with Micro$oft, they altered the wiring from standard, and so these cheap connectors won't work. You need to get hold of the proper MS convertors, god knows where? So we're okay as we are with XP, but Vista doesn't support gameport. But its not like we'll all be rushing out to 'downgrade' to Vista.

GreyKnight Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Really! That would be nice. Have you got a PayPal account, so I can send you the cost of P&P? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klinger Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 No probs Gk, PM me your address and I'll send it. Paying the postage is too complicated, just donate it to the DDs site if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyKnight Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Posted September 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 I have now decided to keep it. I think my old sound card is in the loft. Anyway I have just bought a Guillemot force feedback (FoolTrottles favorite) for £5 complete with power supply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
