Old PCI Sound card as joystick port
Hi all,
I wonder if anyone has ever tried this...
I have an older joystick (Suncom Talon with SFS throttle) I'd like to keep using because frankly they're made like tanks. They're joyport devices and of course my Asus motherboard (M4N72-E) doesn't have a joystick port. I've tried one of those USB-to-joystick converter dongles and have had limited success. It seems to want one of four kinds of stick which this one isn't.
I have boxes of computer parts here, among them are at least a few PCI sound cards, so here's what I'm wondering:
Is it possible to install a sound card, but NOT use it's sound-card features (disable those) and ONLY enable the joyport?
