Joyport USB on PC....driver?

(1/3) > >>

psycr0tic1:
Hi, I have a Joyport USB controller adapter (it adapts PS, genesis and n64 controllers)  but it only comes with software for use on a macintosh.  I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to get it to work on a PC (it seems like it shouldn't be too hard since it is USB  based)

If anyone knows how to make it work or has suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.

As long as it is USB compliant, it should work no problem.

Hmm, that is what I was thinking......but I'm not sure how to make it work.  I'm using Windows XP.  When I plug it in it recognizes that there is a USB device plugged in and it says it has no software for it............I plug a genesis controller into the adapter and I can't get the computer to recognize that a controller is plugged in

Todd_H:
Are you plugging the Genesis controller into the adapter and then plugging it into the computer?  Or are you plugging the adapter in first and then plugging the controller into the adapter?  Also you probably know this, but I have to mention that USB devices should always be plugged in after the operating system has booted up.

Have you tried plugging the genesis controller in to the adapter first, and then the adapter+controller in the PC?  

If XP can't identify it still, try selecting a game controller driver for a game pad with three or four (or six or seven buttons for six button version) buttons.
