New Gameport to USB Converter from Necroware

Post by akula65 »

Just an FYI that Necroware has a new project for a gameport-to-USB converter with support for the Microsoft SideWinder 3D Pro similar to Grendel's:

There is a video for it as well:


I found out about this on VOGONS:

New firmware update for this device: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p=1014612#p1014612
Hi guys, I implemented the ADI protocol, now the adapter should also support Logitech devices. I have only Logitech Wingman Extreme Digital at hand, so I tested it only with that, but I hope, that other Logitech devices would also work, but may be some fixes will be required though. You can try the new firmware from this branch: https://github.com/necroware/gameport-a ... ch-support

If you have some Logitech devices at hand, feel free to make some tests. You can send me some feedback on the following issue: https://github.com/necroware/gameport-adapter/issues/6
