Despite the fact that there are working drivers for both for XP.
But I can't get my GOG version of FreeSpace 2 to work in XP because the game recognizes neither my Nvidia GeForce GT 210 nor my ATi HD 2600 XT. I picked up a free Sound Blaster Live! Value from Craigslist, and it works with the flight stick in Windows XP. It may not work properly due to differences, but hopefully both the the 3DP+ and PrP use the same signals over the gameport. This (sorry for the YouTube link, it's all I've run across) is for the Precision Pro.
It's quite hacky, but I think it's the only way to actually make this work short of going back to XP. The official converter, which only shipped in the box, is for the Precision Pro series, and I think how it works is as a pure physical adapter, with the USB circuitry in the joystick itself.Īpparently there is a solution, but it involves custom drivers to basically make the gameport work, then make the stick work (this series of joysticks apparently didn't act like a normal gameport joystick). If your joystick needs drivers, it probably won't work with a converter. The USB converters don't give you a gameport per se (no gameport shows up in Device Manager AFAIK), they internally convert the joystick to a USB HID game controller and present that to the OS.
no drivers from the manufacturer needed), and MS removed gameport support in Vista. The gameport was directly driven by Windows itself (e.g. The joystick itself may need drivers too though - gameport plug doesn't necessarily mean it'll just work when plugged into a gameport unfortunately.Īs far as I can tell from a quick search, it doesn't matter if the Audigy has Win10 drivers (and those drivers appear to be third party and no longer actively developed, Creative appears to have stopped support for them at Win7), Win10 itself doesn't support the gameport at all.
