Hey,

I'm using an MS Sidewinder gamepad (gameport- the OG not the pro) controller in W98se. I've installed the software for it, and it comes with a handful of handy game profiles.

After quite a bit of searching online, I've found a couple individual game profiles (like duke nukem 3d: http://www.dukertcm.com/knowledge-base/downlo … al-controllers/).

However, I've also read that Microsoft at one point posted game additional profiles on their website. I haven't been able to find this archived anywhere.

Does anyone have additional sidewinder gamepad profiles to upload (ideally adding it to vogons)? Or know where they are archived?

Thanks in advance

It was late, and I was in a hurry when I made the earlier post, but it is worth mentioning that this profile package is for pretty much all of the SideWinder products, not just the Gamepad, although profile availability varies according to game and SideWinder device. The profiles in this package should already be included in the Microsoft SideWinder Version 3.02 Software, but Microsoft made them available separately, probably because they were backwards compatible with at least some earlier SideWinder Software releases.
