Game Cards

4 posts by 4 people · 23 Apr 1999 - 26 Apr 1999

I want to be able to connect my Thrustmaster Wheel and a basic-ish joystick (2 axis, four buttons, hat switch) to my PC in a way that allows me to map them to different controller numbers in Win 95. ( I.e. a simple splitting device like a Quickshot J-link will not work). So I guess I need a dedicated game port card in an ISA slot. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks, Steve

Steve; PDPI is suppose to be the best. Here is the site: https://mall001.jetlink.net/MALL000/webpage.cfm?WebPage_ID=19&DID=9 Then of course Thrusmaster & CH-Products make one but I'd suggest the PDPI All are ISA.. I believe?? CHeers Thom j. aka ^Fretts

I have just got a thrustmaster game card (30) and it works fine and it is more sensitive than the game port built into my monster sound card

I bought a PDPI board, it is an ISA board, you can connect four joysticks to it (the big version accepts 8!), it is digital and is filtering your signals as well, thus making your input signals rock steady and less twitchy. And last but not least, it doesn't use your CPU at all, so your CPU can be better used where it should, for instance, simulating other cars and stuff. And it is flexible! You can use pots from 10kohms to 1 mohm, you might have to tweak a few registers, but it is very flexible. I am not a salesperson, I'm only extremely happy with my PDPI... ---Asgeir---
