Version: Microsoft Sidewinder Game Controller Software 3.02
"Not for newer systems - Vintage enthusiasts only"
Pros: Download worked fine - but would not install on VISTA
Cons: I found an old Sidewinder (without the driver disk) at the thrift store and attempted to install it on a P-4 machine using an old-fashioned (pre-USB) "game port".
I am running Windows VISTA-Beta2 pre-release and thought it would be fun to try... But I got the message: "This program has known compatibility issues - The system cannot find the file specified". --
It is no one's fault - it's just older technology that served it's purpose and brought us to where we are. --
If you are running new hardware and software, just buy it new.. (joysticks are cheap enough) and leave the older stuff to the collectors and vintage gaming enthusiasts.
