Thrustmaster Nascar Pro Racing Wheel
Has anyone ever got one of these working using a gameport to USB adapter? A
(PC newbie) friend of mine got one from Ebay, but could not get it working under XP. Tried to scour the internet for XP compatible drivers to no avail. No problem, I thought. I'll just stick a copy of Windows 98SE on a separate partition, load the drivers from the CD supplied and he can use the 98 partition for all his gaming needs. Unfortunately it still wasn't recognised in the control panel despite tinkering with every option imaginable! The wheel works OK on a PC with a gameport as he set it up no problem on his father-in-laws machine. However, like many modern machines, the gameport is now omitted :-( Any ideas? TIA |
