So, I've got a Sidewinder Forcefeedback Pro stick.
It uses gameport. I know that it can be used with a usb adapter but it will loose compatibility with games that requires the "Sidewinder" proprietary api.
The driver for it only works on win 95/98 and I can't run those systems. Lowest I can run is winXP.
So the question: It's possible to use a gameport device running inside a VM, with the physical controller connected to a gameport on the host?

A few more info:
WinXP does have a native driver for this controller and some of the games I've tested are working fine.
But MDK FF version does not. The game does not detect the stick's axis. Normal non-ff version works fine.
I want to play this game and I think that it will only work correctly under win95/98 using the official driver.
