joystick drivers?

[stringcheeseincident]

i got this real generic joystick from goodwill yesterday for 99 cents. it uses a game port which i have plugged into my sound card. it has no company name on it or anything, i can't find drivers for it. the only thing i have is the part number, 404223-001. google gives me people looking for the same drviers. anyone got suggestions?

never seen that kind before, check the manufacturer label, those things are usually never removed. or you can get desperate open the joystick look for the biggest IC and google the model number.

Smack you now or smack you later?

If it hooks to the gameport you don't need drivers.

winXP didn't recognize it and i can't find any joysticks in the device manager. smack me once it works.

Did you check for game port drivers for the Audio card?
What Audio card is it?

holy crap that looks oooooold..

not worth $.99 imo

get some decent one with $7 u have there

 

[stringcheeseincident]

no, i'm saving my $7. and it would be worth 99 cents if it works. im using the turtle beach santa cruz, as of now it's saying

What's the chipset on your motherboard?

I thought some nForce2 boards couldn't use the soundcard gameport for some odd reason.

I can't help you out, but I love SCI so I wish you much luck in figuring your problem out.

 

[stringcheeseincident]

haha, recognize. you have any of their movies? Waiting For The Snow To Fall is byfar my favorite, me being both a skier and a SCI fan

Wow - that is an oldie. Looks to be from the early 90s.
