Re: Using the Microsoft Sidewinder Controller
On a slight side note: You can use standard game controllers. Here are the offical specs for DB15 game port:
Code:
Pin NonMIDI MIDI
 1  +5v     +5v
 2  A-1     A-1
 3  A-X     A-X
 4  Ground  Ground
 5  Ground  Ground
 6  A-Y     A-Y
 7  A-2     A-2
 8  +5v     +5v
 9  +5v     +5v
 10 B-1     B-1
 11 B-X     B-X
 12 Ground  MIDI Rx
 13 B-Y     B-Y
 14 B-2     B-2
 15 +5v     MIDI Tx
Just remember that pins 5, 8, 9, & 15 are special on the OI.
Does the Sidewinder use MIDI? Try setting it up as some other kind of controller.
