Hello all, this is a great site and am glad I found it, i have always been a big fan of WC series games and am just getting back into them, diggin my games out of storage and givvin em a spin, of course i have many problems associated with running them all on a new machine, anyway, here is my first question for the forum.
I have Wing Commander Kilrathi Saga for Win 95, you know, it has all 3 kilrathi related games on a 5 disc set, So, I figure since it is made for Win 95 my joystick should work fine in WC3, but it isn't, it isn't being recognized at all, i select it in the config options while flying or on the victory but it has no effect. Real annoying, I am running WinME and am using a Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Pro, it has both a USB and regular gameport connector, but i can't use the regular gameport one cuz the SB Live's gameport sux and it can't handle my cpu (Athlon XP 1700+) So i am suspecting WC3 can't read USB joysticks.... anyone know for sure?
also, if this is the case, does anyone know if any company makes a PCI gameport card that can handle a fast processor?
I also have a CH Combat Stick, but can't use that either cuz it has a standard gameport connection and if anything is connected to the gameport on the SB Live it goes nuts.
