• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Win 98

OK, I know you'll think I'm nuts but my favorite joystick only works on WIN98. FATS vs NTSB & 15 pin vs USB thing. I've tried to install 98 on an old PC for games like CFS3 but the PCB controllers didn't install. Any ideas where I might find these drivers? Thanks
 
I don't think you're crazy at all.
I still have two operational Win98 machines though one is getting a little flaky and one hasn't been turn on in a couple years.

The Microsoft SideWinder Precision Pro and 3D Pro joysticks I use also work with Windows 2000 and also Win XP.
If you are trying to use a converter for USB to Game Port, that certainly won't work because the joysticks don't work off a Game Port. They are really run from a MIDI port as found on a sound card.
