Title: Microsoft Sidewinder freestyle pro
Post by: NxWizard on April 05, 2008, 02:00:26 PM

I've used this controller on my old computer a whole lot, but when I upgraded my computer, there wasn't a gameport on it so the controller wasn't used and was stored in the basement. The game port that was used before was on a soundcard, so my question is if I have an onboard soundcard built in and if I install the old soundcard also, what will happen? The controller was second hand and it came with no gameport to usb adapter...

k.. well I tried it... and I could even start my computer after installing it.. might be taking too much power or something... then I turned on the computer and installed it.. worked fine.. everything connects... but when I turn it off.. its unable to turn back on ..
