I'm running Win XP, do I need to download any drivers? Its as if the game
doesn't recognize I have a joystick. I just went to control panel > game
controllers and added this joystick. From the control panel, everything
seems to be working ok. I downloaded the SWGameEN.exe v3.02 but I didn't
install it because it said that it was incompatible with this system. Oh
yeah, Battlefield 1942 recognizes my joystick.

3. Creating a REAL Sidewinder Force FeedBack Pro (Gameport) Driver for XP 

Hi!

I was playing lately with my SW FFB joystick on XP. Everything worked 
well except that there was no force feedback at all!

I've looked a little bit on those SW XP drivers and found that there is 
and there will be no support for force feedback on XP for SW gameport 
joystick, but only for USB version.
Since trying to connect gameport joystick on a USB port is non-sense, 
I'm thinking of adding force feedback to current driver.

I know that force feedback "messages" are sent thru Midi events (I have 
to figure out how exactly). So, the only thing we need is to create a 
filter driver between current SW drivers and directX.
This driver (could be a user driver only and not a kernel driver) will 
only send FFB events from directX to Midi port, and sw_effct.dll may 
give some infos (I'll also have to look in it).

So, am I (totally?) wrong? Or is it possible to create such a driver?

Please help, I'll need some ;)

I have a sidewinder forcefeedback pro thats a few years 
old. Now I have a new computer with XP. Is there software 
that will run it on XP? The old software won't install and 
I don't see any upgrades anywhere.
