I have a Wingman Extreme 3D Digital. Figuring it out shouldn't be difficult. The IBM joystick port pinout is all over the web. Reverse engineer from there. Ie, use an ohmmeter to trace which wires go to each axis and to which buttons. If your's supports USB, all you need to know is which four of the wires normally pass through the 15 pin connector to Logitech's DB15F to USB adaptor that comes with all their anlog gameport/digital USB compatable sticks. The IBM joystick port supports four potentiometers and four buttons, 2 each per stick. How they get more buttons is easy. The game (for DOS) or DirectX in Windows looks for combinations of buttons pressed and treats them as a single button. You could see this in DirectX 4's test/calibration. Instead of a showing a light for each button on the controller, it only showed four no matter what stick you'd selected. (unless you chose a 2 or 3 button one) Pressing buttons higher than 4 would light up 2 or more indicators. With DirectX 5, MS changed it to one indicator per stick button. It will be total Fandemonium, Summer 2005! Check website for further info. http://www.fandemonium.org __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
