XP, SBLive, TSW
 

Well, I built a new computer(thanks to a generous fellow sim racer). Since the
mobo doesn't have any ISA slots, I can't use my PDPL gamecard. The USB wheel I
have doesn't have split-axis, so that makes it difficult to drive. I tried
using my SBLive's gameport to run my TSW wheel. Couldn't find(or create) a
config that worked right. Either the config didn't show both pedals, or the
calibrate screen kept jumping around. This is a winXP system, and I'm sure I'm
just not used to XP yet. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks!

Eldred, which verson of Direct X are you using? Try DX 9, or reinstall it.

It's just a question of mind over matter. I don't mind, 'cause he doesn't
matter...

It was DX9, loaded when I installed N2k3.

Hi Eldi,

cannot really comment as I'm not on XP, but my TSW works fine on the
SBLive's game port. I had to do some simple rewiring that's outlined
on my homepage (see below for URL), and then I defined a new entry in
win98se as a standard 3 axis / 4 button joystick and it worked just
fine.

Make sure you disable / enable "poll with interrupts enabled" in the
game controller config, cannot remember which one it was.

Let me know if you need more help and I'll be happy to.

cheers,

uwe

I have xp. The short of it is that it will be very difficult to get the TSW
working with XP correctly. With my TSW2, it would work but work poorly
because the option Uwe was talking about does not exist in XP, poll with
interrupts enabled. So, I didnt have that much success until I got new lower
grade 200 pots from Thomas Enterprises and a USB converter, then it was a
ton better. They actually have a better method now that will basically
rewire the TSW into a "native" USB controller with the high grade pots and
that is what I will do eventually but havent since I dont drive that much
right now. So, I would go that route ...
