I had W98SE and XP running in VMWare on W7x64. I was running a very old piano teaching software program, Piano Discovery on both without issue. My motherboard failed so I installed on a newer system and cannot get my digital piano recognized in either VM. After 2 weeks of researching and trying all sorts of tips, suggestions and workarounds, nothing has worked. It very well could be the VMWare installation but as stated, no luck. I'd rather not abandon the software so I have decided to install either W98SE, XP or Vista on a 32 bit PC I've located. Could you please send the files and instructions to aloof1atnetzerodotnet, I'd very much appreciate it. I have a SB Live! and Audigy LS just waiting to be of service again. BTW, has junk_reporter had any luck rewriting the drivers for W7x64? Thanks a million! aloof1https://www.blogger.com/profile/03049023313787345204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191249476880152357.post-58239886992127662812021-01-26T08:39:43.212-05:002021-01-26T08:39:43.212-05:00Hi.

Gameport does not work with Windows 7, and software, which we were able to find for this equipment, does not work on windows XP.

Partly due to the unending lockdowns, finally cleaned up my old desktop and put on Win7 on it - noticed that it had a C-Media CMI8738 sound card which had a gameport. Of course Win7 didn't like it and refuses to recognize the gameport but the sound card is operational. Not I have a Fighter X Thrustmaster joystick which I want to use to play some good old games and introduce the kids to my childhood favorites. Will this driver work for me? Would be interested in receiving the drivers if you can kindly share it with me. I can be contacted on email (divine_interventions@yahoo.com).

I know this is a really old post, but I am hoping that you can still my message. I would love to have these files and see if I can re-write the driver for windows 7 64 bit. I successfully did this with a driver for an older SCSI card that was said over and over in forums that it just will not work in anything after Vista but it is happily working great in Windows 7 64 bit because my determination to re-write the driver to get it to work. You can send them to junk_reporter at yahoo dot com Aslo, you can rename file extensions on any file to be able to send them on any email service. Just change the zip or exe to a txt, doc, xls or any other file format and then tell the person what type of file you sent so they can rename it accordingly. I do this with friends all the time when an email service won't allow certain types of files. =) Also, I would be glad to host the files on my dropbox in case anyone would want them later.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191249476880152357.post-32867863808474637282014-02-05T09:32:57.511-05:002014-02-05T09:32:57.511-05:00Good to hear that the gameport drivers work.

As I've stated, these are not my drivers, I've only modified them slightly to get them to install on Win7. They were originally designed for Win Vista by daniel_k.

I'm surprised that the creative gameport driver didn't install. The generic creative gameport driver should install on most Creative cards (that still have an actual gameport connection). Unfortunately, I don't have a SB 128 to test it out or help you resolve the problem. Might be time to at least upgrade to a SB live or Audigy card. You can get them on eBay for $5-$10.Lankshirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01465647537099399758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191249476880152357.post-23491353771472994452014-02-04T20:30:22.134-05:002014-02-04T20:30:22.134-05:00I have been looking for this info for 4 years now ...I have been looking for this info for 4 years now , in fact I had a new computer assembled with high end contents 3.5 yrs ago and insisted on the XP operating system again because at the time we could still get the old legacy gameport operating on XP (not Win 7) , but as time passed and newer more demanding racing games were being offered I knew it would only be a matter of time and I would eventually need to install Win7(or8) ....<br /> I started looking around again and found remnants of this string and emailed a few links to my more technical friends...they were anxious to give it a try . <br /> So , Win 7 32 bit now installed and gameport functionality seemed to work quite well...for the Microsoft sidewinder ...but my main concern was the 6 or 7 Thrustmaster analog racing wheels I had accumulated . there were Thr. Sprint , Sprint 2 , Charger and a couple more I don't recall right now....all gameport connected and all worked on each others software disc....<br />THAT IS WHY I AM TYPING THIS RARE TEXT , I NEED TO KNOW HOW TO ADD THE DRIVERS FOR THE OLD THRUSTMASTER CHARGER(or Sprint) RACING WHEELS (Windows98 era). please please please , I am retired now and almost broke and enjoy messing around with computers with my Grandson .

I think it's time to upgrade your gamepad. There really aren't any sound cards that would support old gamepad controllers after the Audigy. That's why we've got these hacked drivers for the Audigy. Most new gamepads have USB controllers that will plug right into your computer. No need for the old fashion sound card interfaces. So you're better off upgrading the gamepad (unless you also want better sound).Lankshirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01465647537099399758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191249476880152357.post-91031936690935136792013-08-24T06:56:39.499-04:002013-08-24T06:56:39.499-04:00Is there any case those drivers work in win7x64?pe...Is there any case those drivers work in win7x64?perhaps buying a new sound card is the best solution?<br />thanks..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191249476880152357.post-79490998716840611392013-07-02T17:23:12.922-04:002013-07-02T17:23:12.922-04:00u da man lankshire thumbs up mate... :)u da man lankshire thumbs up mate... :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00707500559092523096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5191249476880152357.post-79583515279232634272013-06-23T04:50:22.250-04:002013-06-23T04:50:22.250-04:00Hi Lankshire,
