G'day, I will be getting my GP1 in a week or so, and I wondered if there is some sort of adaptor to allow me to plug in both my joystick and wheel to the gameport (AWE64), with some kind of "switch" which selects one or the other......is there such a thing? Or can I simply use a double adaptor and plugin both....will it cause any conflicts? I dont fancy having to crawl under my desk to detach or attach my wheel and joystick depending on the game I want to play. Email replies are fine... Cheers

Yes, you can get a switch box for your gameport. As far as I know, there is only one on the market and it is called a JOYSWITCH. It lets you plug in up to four joysticks and two pedal sets to one gameport. I have seen them at Egghead, or you can order direct from the company. Just do a search on JOYSWITCH and you should be able to find their home site that way. They cost about $30. Hope this helps.
>Yes, you can get a switch box for your gameport. As far as I know, there is >only one on the market and it is called a JOYSWITCH. There are others...but stick with the JOYSWITCH. I bought a real slick looking one that would not work well. I think it had to much resistance on it lines. The Joyswitch is ugly as all getout but built very sturdy....and it works. . Just remove the NOSPAM to reply
