My favourite racing game, Trackmania, insists on steering left when I want to go right, and vice versa. This happens with another controller — Thrustmaster Run 'n' Drive. Both the Thrustmaster and the SpaceOrb work fine in other games, so it's a problem with the game, not the hardware. With the Thru...
Thank you, vputz, for sorting me out. I now have a SpaceOrb 360 that works in Windows 7! :-D I noticed that Windows recognised it (and I was able to play a game) straight away, without installing the Arduino software and Orbotron 9000 driver, like [url=http://wiki.thingotron.com/doku.php?id=products...
New times, new motherboard. This time, it is only recognised when plugged into a specific pair of USB ports directly attached to the motherboard. If plugged in to a powered USB hub, "device not recognised". This is fine, since I can just leave it plugged into the ports in which it does work. However...
I've just tried plugging it into two different powered USB hubs and using all the ports I could, still no luck. When I bought it, the guy asked if I wanted any specific firmware version, so I told him whatever the latest is, thinking that would stand the best chance of working on today's computers. ...

So the axes shouldn't work and I'm pretty sure that if joystick reports are disabled then the buttons won't work on the joystick dialog. So that may actually be "working as...
I'm going to be the first to report a problem with the Orbshield, I'm afraid. My symptoms: In the Spaceorb/Spaceball properties window, where it shows what buttons and axes are being triggered, using the WASD sketch, nothing works. Using the BasicJoystick and GainDemo sketch, only the Orb's buttons ...
Fantastic! The orb is the ultimate driving controller. I used mine for years until it broke a couple of years ago. I've been trying to get by with a [url=http://www.thrustmaster.com/product.aspx?ProductID=35&PlatformID=5]Thrustmaster Run 'n' Drive[/url] since then, but it's just not the same, an...
