Hey MaxTS,

Thanks for the bump^ on this thread!
I'm gonna get 2.
I've had my original Sidewinder Gamepad for 5 years now and love it. Great for the Tomb Raider series and of course MAME.
I bought the USB version and was very disappointed! The 8 way pad is way too sensitive!
I know my gameport version will go out soon and I couldn't find another one.
Thanks to this thread.................... I'm happy again!

I didn't bump it, not intentionaly anyway, i just posted in the wrong thread.
I don't know if this deal is still alive.

You kinda bumped it. It was a week old and I never would have found it!
BTW, the original deal is dead, but the photo link is at brown-box.com and they have it same price.
$10 each, but $7 shipping no matter how many items you have. I got 2 of them for $27.00 shipped.
W00T!!!!!

 

[THX]

A couple years ago I was bummed to find this pad couldn't be daisy-chained in MAME (could only use one). It was on the official MAME faq too but now I can't find this issue. Can anyone confirm daisy-chaining this Sidewinder works in the latest version of MAME?

Here is your reply VIA classicgaming.com Daisy chained gameport Microsoft Sidewinders [original] in Win2k or XP do not work very well. Use USB gamepads instead. Single Sidewinders may also cause odd behavior like ghost button presses.

The people who bought these pads...
it doesn't look like they can be chained from the picture no?
