I solved this by simply activating the gameport with a jumper on the ct2290. I found out about the jumper by reading this article: http://dosdays.co.uk/topics/sb16.php What confused me was the fact that the gameport was installed correctly in windows even if it was deactivated on the sound card.

They look pretty neat. What glue did you use? Are you stuck with these now or is it possible to remove them in any way?

I built my own holder for placing it in a 2.5 bay, it did not end up being very pretty. But I heard you can buy 3d printed ones on eBay. I also saw someone put it in a HDD caddy.

Yeah lots of space in the case! I have my SS7 in a case like that because I refuse to buy an AT one for 100$. I'm sure I'll find one soon. That motherboard looks very cramped around the CPU. At least you are able to fit a voodoo in there. My 5ali61 barely fits a voodoo 2. What is Bector? Some local …

I have found my old Saitek Cyborg 3d from ca 1998. The joystick works with my Pentium M machine running Windows 98se. It is recognized and works in Tie Fighter which is the game I want to run. However on my SS7 rig it does not work. I have connected it with my sb16 ct2290. In windows I have tried …

I have the es1869 chip on my laptop it is a very interesting chip with high compatibility and is easy to set up. Phill has a video on it. Just get one with a game port and you would be ok.

I'll pop into our local second hand computer shop which opened a yer and a half ago to see if they have any two PCI slot PCI ricers like the one in my slimline Compaq/HP 3.0GHz HT P4 system. Some pics of the difference between the old cpu fan height and the new psu height. One thing I've thought …

A core duo or even p4 is cheap and fine for this case as they have both SATA and ide for what o know.
