CH Pedals hooked into a SB Live gameport?

by scott.ve.. » Tue, 23 Nov 1999 04:00:00

Do I HAVE to have a joystick plugged in with my CH Pedals to get them
to work?  Without a joystick plugged in, the Control Panel Game
Controller configuration (Win98) does not see my pedals. It says "Not
Connected".  If I hook a joystick up, it works fine.

I'm selling my stick, but keeping my pedals... and I need to have the
pedals working w/out a stick plugged in.

Is this possible?

The CH pedals must have a joystick connected indeed. I have a very old
joystick plugged in, from my Commodore c64 era :)

I think so..... yes.
My situation is a bit differend but you can try...

I have them also connected to my gameport (SB Live)
And I have a LWFF, that is connected to my USB.

So only my CH pendals to my gameport. (no joystick or wheel on my CH
pendals)
I had some trouble to let Win98 to see them but the work now.

What did I do?
Add. new hardware (control panel), when he ask to search for new hardware,
select "No, I want to select......"
Then "sound, video and game controllers", "(Standard game device)",
HID -compliant game controller.

I changed my ID of my LWFF to 3.
Then add new controller on ID 1 and 2. (in game controller)
The controller I add was 2 axis 2 button. (twice)

Then I restart my comp. After restart in the game controller, win98 see 1, 2
axis 0 button controller (OK).
And 1, 2 axis 2 button (not connected)

And it works!!!

I hope it works for you too!!

No, you don't have to have a joystick plugged in. I ran mine for quite a
while without it, and a LTFF. I had to create two copies of a 2 axis
custom controller I created with the Game Controller, and called CH
pedals. I think I had the wheel at ID 1 and the two pedal controllers at
IDs 2 and 3. I'll have to check at home.Maybe it was the pedals at 1 and
2, with the wheel at 3?

The pedals don't really work right in the Windows Game Controller test
window, in that they only go one direction on the x and y axis. But this
will work fine for GPL with it's very good controller set-up routine. I
also got it to work with N3, and I think GP 500.
