WIN7 SB16 Joystick MIDI POrt Drivers?

[familton]

Has anyone had any success getting a Creative SB16 MIDI joystick port working with WIN7 32 bit? I have seen lots of solutions for Vista by Daniel Kawakami but nothing for WIN7. Thanks, regards, Bob.

Have you tried any of the Vista solutions? Windows 7 isn't that different and they may work. With Vista, Microsoft removed support for older technologies like gameports. This isn't to say that someone else couldn't write a drive for their gameport, just that from Vista on, Windows won't include support for them. Some people have had success using a gameport to USB adapter.

Hi. Thanks. The Vista solution did not work. Maybe the gameport to USB adapter is ther way to go. Best regards, Bob.

Gameport to USB sounds good, but does anyone know of one which supports the original MS forcefeedback stick.
