If you are playing the new rebirth D2 and you want to use your old sidewinder Pro, you need to get a Manhattan gameport to USB device. It works perfectly for your sidewinder and I picked mine up for only $19. It even has twist!

The stick runs in analog emulation -- hat switch is 4-way only, no base buttons, no more than one button registered at the same time in mode I, no slider in mode II. Build this for full functionality.

For D2 I do not use any of the base buttons.

Both side buttons work and the two top buttons work (hat and long button). That is all I need for D2 from my joystick - the rest is keyboard - It works perfectly and even twists! Not bad for $19.

If you use the hat for sliding, you cannot slide diagonally, which means you cannot tri-chord.

The converter Grendel mentioned is superior, and is only a few dollars more.

That’s not technically correct…only if the hat is the only sliding you have available…

4 way hat and keyboard will give you the ability to slide diag.

Depending on your controller config…this may be an option…for others not.

I should have clarified, "If you use only the hat for sliding..."
