Title: I hate to ask this again...
Post by: DeepSpace9er on November 26, 2003, 06:32:47 pm: I got a new computer and got the typical problem that ive heard 100,000 times but forgot the solution: My afterburner is broke...

....and i need a new joystick. New sound card has firewire not Midi. :(

Post by: DeepSpace9er on December 02, 2003, 03:26:17 pm: All i want is a basic joystick with a missile button and a primary button... thats it. Now all i can find are joysticks that look completely stupid and have 8 buttons on the top, 2 triggers, 4 buttons on the sides of the stick itself as well as 15 buttons on the base... enough to drive a guy crazy.

Gotta love Windows 9x mode... but i cant play at all without a joystick. I asked a guy in a computer store the other day if they sold usb adapters for midi and he said yes but they go for $150+. Forget that...

Post by: DeepSpace9er on December 05, 2003, 06:47:00 am: I went out and got the Logitech Attack 3. Works good, i just wish the base was a little more stable as i have a tendency of turning the stick hard.
