I'm trying to install the Force Feedback steering wheel disk using winrar. I can't find anything to check or uncheck in the winrar settings to accomplish what you are suggesting. I'm guessing you have downloaded this one? http://vogonsdrivers.com/getfile.php?fileid=880 Seems to me that it's an all- …

I'm trying to figure out how to use a zip file of some drivers I just downloaded from vogonsdrivers.com. The files are for several Microsoft Sidewinder game controllers. After unpacking the zip file I was expecting (hoping) to find several independent file groups equivalent to the original driver …

This wasn't as easy as it sounds though. You can't create an account there and only request one through PM.. which I can't since the Vogons Forums prohibit the use of PM for users with a low post count. Good job on throwing up a lot of hurdles to make software preservation a hard job, I guess. Yeah …

You've alerted me to a potential issue I hadn't thought of (Xinput vs DirectInput) so that's not annoying. Cheers for the suggestion.

My Xbox 360 controller is recognised by NFS2:SE, but when I attempt to map the functions, the only input it sees is the left analogue stick. I have installed nusb36e and Omake's X360 driver. The controller works perfectly in NFS: Porsche Unleashed. Any ideas?

Wow! What a surprise to log into after a couple of weeks away. Stoked with the usability on mobile now. Facelifts like this always generate a little controversy but it's often just a case of getting used to it. Like some others I'm finding it a little 'big' on the desktop, but that's the case with …

Are you sure ? Not sure I should have used the word 'faked.' Unlicensed probably a better term. Cheers for the additional reading. Maybe the MPU-401 part is disabled via one of the jumpers? Possibly a factor, but unfortunately I'd be flying blind there with no documentation. With a better card on …

Running ENMPU.exe (from this package ) returns the following: MPU 401 interface setup driver version 1.0, 1995 ERROR: IDE CD-ROM interface is not present ... Seems like an unrelated complaint!
