Hi Ron, Ummm...Didn't you install the software for the Philips 2909? If so you would have force feedback, and I have used it with the demo of TDV, Troopenum II, Raceway, Puppy 1, and a number of other games with joystick support. However, not all the games out there support force feedback devices. For example, none of the BSC games support force feedback so none of the game devices out there will fully work with those titles.
As far as force feedback built in I'm not sure what you mean by that. All of the force feedback controllers have the motors, vibrators, etc built in, but in order to actually use those motors etc you have to install the official device drivers, not the ones that ship with Windows, and of course the game itself must have force feedback support as well. Otherwise all those motors etc won't work. That's the problem we have with Mac and Linux right now. On Linux someone might write a generic Philips 2909 device driver to poll the thumb sticks, POV hat, and buttons since that stuff is pretty standard, but won't write a device driver that actually handles the force feedback. As a result a Linux game developer such as myself can only extend support as far as the generic Linux drivers goes. Same applies if you use the generic XP, Vista, or Windows 7 device drivers rather than those that ship with the Philips 2909 controller itself.
