Titolo: Ai possessori di Live e joystick digitali [non cortissimo]

Ho chiesto alla creative perchè il mio joystick MS Sidewinder non funzia,
ecco la loro risposta:
Sir,
As this is an OEM card I don't have any information on it. We cover support
for
retail products, and your supplier/system integrator handles support for OEM
cards.
Please contact them for full support.
I've included some Joystick troubleshooting below.
Regards,
Catherina
Creative Labs Tech. Support
Please be aware that all Creative sound card support analogue joysticks
only. (chi ha joystick digitali affanculo insomma...) If
you have the facility please switch you joystick from digital to analogue
mode.
The Creative gameport will support either one 2-axis 4-button joystick or 2
2-axis 2-button joysticks. You will require a splitter cable if you wish to
hook
up a second
joystick. If you joystick is not responding try the following
troubleshooting
steps:
In the Device Manager under Sound Video and Game Controllers ensure you have
an
entry for Creative Gameport Joystick/Gameport Joystick and it is free of
yellow exclamation marks. If you do not have one listed one can be added
manually from the Add New Hardware Wizard in the Windows Control Panel..
Ensure that the resources the Port is using are Input / Output Range
0200-0207,
if the settings do not match please change the settings by removing the
check
mark
from the Use Automatic Settings in the Resources tab of the Gameport entry
and
selecting a basic configuration that matches this setting.
(proverò)
If you are using any of Microsoft Sidewinder or MS joystick series please
obtain
version 3.02 of the software at
http://www.microsoft.com/products/hardware/sidewinder/profiler/default.htm
which
is available from the MS Website. This resolve many joystick detection
issues
with many sound cards.
(con una connessione normale 6.7MB non sono una bazzecola ...)
Try installing Direct X 5 or 6 onto the PC. This is once again available
from
Microsoft. This will install new versions of the Gameport drivers which may
resolve the
issue.
(ma le 7.0a e le 8 non dovrebbero essere meglio?)
Joystick "Not Connected" Message
In addition to other standard troubleshooting, have users toggle the Poll
with
Interrupts Enabled checkbox.  This is located under Control Panel,  Game
Controllers, Advanced tab at the bottom of the page.
(proverò)
Finally in the Properties of the Gameport click driver and then
Update/Change
driver. Choose when prompted the option "No Select Driver from list" and
then
"Show Compatible Hardware". Here you will see upwards of 3 to 4 entries
containing different revisions of the gameport drivers. Each will have a
different date.
Choose another revision than the one you are currently using. This does not
necessarily have to be the latest. When Windows requests the location of the
files point it
to the 95/98 CD or to the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM folder. If prompted when the
files
are being copied that a newer file exists overwrite this with the older
version
and restart.
Please be aware that the two files that are is use are files VJOYD.VXD and
MSJSTICK.DRV, both o f these files are Microsoft files. Creative do not have
any
updates for these files. All updates are available from Microsoft.
Vedremo come andrà a finire. A proposito qualcuno sa dove trovare adattatori
Game => USB senza dover comprare un altro joystic e se funziano con i joy
MS? Atrimenti come si possono fare?

Allora, tieni presente che sotto Win9x/ME sei costretto ad installare i
driver per il joystick altrimenti quelli della Microsoft non c'è verso di
farli funzionare!!!
Cmq se non ti va di scaricarli dal sito, trovi il software su uno dei CD che
ti hanno dato con il joystick!
Sotto Win2000 non c'è problema.
Per quanto riguarda l'adattatore USB-porta joystick non credo che funzioni,
infatti ho provato con i miei Sidewinder ForceFeedback Wheel e FFPro
l'adattatore che ti danno con il Freestyle Pro di un amico, ma non c'è stato
verso di farli funzionare!!!!!!!!!!!
Ciao

OK, disabilitando il coso degli interrupt e selezionando manualmente il joy
tutto sembra funzionare bene. Ci tenevo a giocare ancora a G-Police, che
sarà anche un vecchio gioco, ma ha una grafica che non dispiace e una trama
degna di un film (soprattutto rispetto ad altri giochi ...)
