Greets to all those people who even remember who I am!
A couple friends and I were wondering about the good ol' days of Descent 2 and when I run it, it runs about 12903850198325 FPS and it's unplayable, but I don't have a 3DFX card anymore, but an OpenGL one. (GF4)
I was wondering since the source was released, did anyone make any OpenGL versions of the D2 executable? Thanks

Searched the tech forums, but only found posts related to getting the correct axis to work. I still have my same pilot that I had 4 years ago, even with the 60% rating and 30,000 kills or so...So all my axis(axiis?) are working, but, all I need is for D2 to recognize that I have a joystick plugged into my system.
I don't have any of the latest Sidewinder drivers installed on my system, because I think it's only designed for 95/98. Every time I try to run the sidewinder driver setup, gives me some bogus error about not being able to find _setup and decompress it.

I have two Sidewinder 3D Pros, in mint condition, too! They just collected dust in my closet shelf, because Descent is the only game I have ever liked to play with a joystick.
The Sidewinder 3.02 drivers directly from Microsoft's website does not install on Windows 2000 apparently. Anybody know if there are any archives?

holy crap sky! Last time I saw you was on Chro/Pserv whichever and that was 3 years ago already That and I lost your ICQ *slaps forehead*
As for getting the 3D pro working in D2 I assume you have all the correct stuff right? (D2x 0.2.5 or the latest CVS 20031107 *I recommend 0.2.5 personally*) the latest sdl.dll file for correct sound and your 3D Pro is showing up in the Gaming Devices display in Windows.
If all of that is in order, then D2 should see your joystick just fine. Lemme know if I listed all the things that you have and then perhaps we can work from there. This might end up being moved to the tech forum, so keep an eye out

Tyranny, CVS 20031107? I can run D2X 0.2.5 just fine. It used to run only once, but, I think I fixed that problem. Can you walk me through it? I'm not on ICQ often anymore, but I'll pop on if you need me to, 1203046, or you can E-Mail me at jaldarith@comcast.net.
Thanks bud
