Seeking help from any of the FFB gurus here.
There's this "port" of NFS2 to modern PCs.
It can now run on modern windows and even linux.
The original game had FFB but was using an older protocol (IFORCE of something), not DirectX.
The author ported it to modern FFB but could not make it work under windows, only linux.
Boomslang or Howard_Casto could take a look?
