I agree with you tom. To be honest I have had practically no mainstream experience, I started with nothing to blind. I guess if I grew up with mainstream it wouldn't be as bad, but I didn't. Its going to be a struggle to get round it. Most of what I had training wise was by me fiddling,

Hi Shaun, Interesting enough I haven't had a lot of formal computer training myself. Truth is most of what I know is through direct experimentation, trial, and error. It was only when I went to college that I got some formal training, IE the paperwork to back up what I actually know, but a person

Hi Charles, Maybe, but there is a huge problem with your assumption here. You are assuming that a game controller requires some desk space which usually isn't the case. I can see it if the gamer is using a racing wheel or one of those pro flight controllers as those do take up a lot of room, but

Hi Charles, Besides the Logitech MOMO Racing steering wheel for my Mach 1 tts game my games of Awesome Homer, guns, Pong, Puppy 1, reaction and Triple J Shooter are more fun to play with a joystick rather than the keyboard. My joystick is a Saitek ST290 Pro and I think cost $50.00. the

Rummaging through a box of stuff I had packed when moving into this house, I have come across a game controller. I think that Thomas Ward did a review of it once, but I don't recall which model this is, or anything about it. I'll describe it below in hopes that this indicates what I have.

Fastest way is to have someone with sight just read the logo sticker on the controller. because that description could fit a lot or ones not highly known. At 11:02 AM 8/11/2014, you wrote: Rummaging through a box of stuff I had packed when moving into this house, I have come across a game

Hi Charles, Well, the description you gave of the game controller could fit any number of gamepads as that is a fairly common description of a USB gamepad. That said, if I reviewed it you may be talking about the review I gave of the Philips 9009 rumblepad a few years ago. In any case if you

I don't recall this being a rumble pad, but Phillips does ring a bell. When I plug it in, and start a game of Aliens in the Outback, nothing happens. When selecting to configure the joystick, none is found. I'll try it on some other games to see how it goes. If a driver is needed, any

Hi Charles, Yes. Use the CD that came with the controller. It comes with the Windows drivers as well as the software needed for calibrating the device. The software is also necessary if you wish to use force feedback in games that have it like Topspeed. Cheers! On 8/11/14, Charles Rivard

Hi Charles, Yes. That is a Philips gamepad. As for which buttons do what most of those are programmable. Meaning you can assign them to any function you want if the game allows it. If you have the profiler that came with the gamepad software you can also remap the buttons as needed too. Cheers!
