Hello. I have had a very old Interact V3 racing wheel. I don't think ever used. Software to install is on a floppy disc for Windows 95 and the connector is male VGA.
I dare say I can get the drivers online but does anyone think, or know, if a female VGA to USB adaptor will work?
If not, I dare say I can open it up and do some rewiring to a modern day encoder.
Many thanks.
It's probably a 15-Pin gameport connector, not VGA.
If so a USB gameport adapter like this will work:
I have a few of the "Super Joy Box 7" ones and they've worked fine for joysticks. Never had an old wheel to try it with.
The W on the switch is for wheel.
It shows up as a generic joystick.
Keep in mind that you could also buy a used Logitech black MOMO (not the red one) or blue Driving Force wheel for around $30-40.
That would have windows drivers and working force feedback.
