controller for vista and colin mcrae dirt

[danroyle]

right been playing dirt demo on xp and switched to vista and reinstalled the demo on vista as my 2 yr old loves racing the boo car (blue to me and you) anyway pulled out me ps2 controllers got them on a convertor and hey presto dont work on vista

so does anyone know of a half decent controller that doesn't cost an arm and a leg as i have to buy the full game for him (thats my story if the missus asks anyway)

but he cant use a keyboard


anyone that suggest a 360 controller can stick it somewere hate them (like the style of ps2 controllers)

also would a wingman formula gp wheel work with it as i could get mine out the loft

cheers all

tried the 360 controller?















only kidding mate, sidewinder are same sort of shape as ps2 aren't they?

The Logic 3 USB Rumble Pad coded JP274 works flawlessly in Vista 64 Bit. Looks exactly the same as a PS2 controller.

Been using mine to play TR Anniversary and Broken Sword Sleeping Dragon. Really good pad and will set you back about £15. Not bad for a pad that has dual analogue.

hmm, what convertor are you using for ps2-to-pc? as the one i have works fine in vista x64 - even with 2 controllers.

the play.com one it works fine for vista just not for colin mcrae dirt for some reason

The play.com convertor I had doesnt work in Vista 32bit at all. I just use my 360 pad now.

strangely ended up ordering a 360 pad although will decline my own offer tried one the other day not as bad as i remembered now waitring for it to arrive

[JimmyBoy]

the 360 pad i think is pretty damn nice and should make playing dirt very nice

i still cannot decide if i prefer it to the duel shock 2 pad, not a big fan of the 6axis, i dont like how flimsy those triggers feel and its just too light.

[MadduckUK]

the 360 pad is the best, it feels as solid as the ds2 pad did (previous fave) but the trigger buttons and wirelessness with a 1st party pad is brilliant. its got little accel break pedals on it basically so whats not to like?
