My 6-button gamepad

[G200 PSYCHOMAN]

Hi - long time no visit - nice design

I got a six-button gamepad but NO drivers for it. All that was needed is to use SIDEWNDER driver instead. But i cant find it on my system - when try to add a new controller and click 'add other' i see ONLY things like codecs, plug-ins, audio software (?).

So i 'create' my own controller BUT win95 can only detect 4button gamepads.

Would this work on 98? Can i make this work on 95?

my controller has 6button, throttle, hat but only 4button control under DirectX.

Is it a real Sidewinder Gamepad, or does it have another name on it? If you have another name, please state it.

Otherwise I've been looking around for you:

Sidewinder Game profiles for Win95 and upwards.

Microsoft site including a link to SW Controller software !

Sidewinder Updates & Support

I hope this helps a bit

If it is a generic gamepad I've heard that you can't explicitely get 6 button support, because the gameport only has so many pins. So to get around it you have to select 4-button 4-axis and configure the two extra axis to work as buttons. Although you also have a hat, so I'm not quite sure how that works

Thanks guys

jord - its a 'CyberWarrior' (quite pretentious)
tnt - ive tried that already and it only works for somegames (nfs3)
the reason i want 6button is to play games like sf2, mk4 etc.

i'll d/l sidewinder drivers and try it out

thanks again
