Need to dust this off

It works, maybe one of these old games that doesn't like new controllers will work along with it.

No, it did not influence my USB upgrade.

Still works.

There is two extra buttons hidden on the back of it. My guest for Pinball. I used to play Visual Pinball games back in the days.

Did they skip Win 7? It's recognized in Win10 by name. The shoulder buttons work as a combined axis, as they did back in the day. Let's see... pop in one of these CDs...

Not going to work with 64bit windows... OK, I'll need emulation.

Next one...

Oh, I remember this one... it checked for Windows95 and needed some effort to get it going even when new. It refuses to try in XP compat. mode, which is as far back as I can go without more work.

Maybe I'll get back to them.

I was mostly kidding. If it gets detected in Windows 10, it'll only be as a generic gamepad. Whatever special functions those buttons may have won't work.

It's detected as a Gravis Xterminator Digital, the throttle controls all work as they are meant to in the device configuration calibration.

The Shift button... never did anything special without the Gravis software.

I haven't played a game that uses a gamepad at all in a while, so I haven't tried it in a game.
