Since I didn’t, I decided to replace the built in gameport cable with a USB cable. If I had a gameport cable with the right end on hand, I likely would have built an external adapter to replace the original. The original USB adapter would have worked fine if I still had it.īuying the Belkin adapter (advertised as for a Sidewinder) ought to work, according to (though you may have to short pins 2 and 7 yourself). This included all the pinout information required to build the adapter.
With Google I found the forum post at, which helpfully linked to. If that was true, I could build a new adapter. Reading the section “Later Digital Joysticks” of made me realize that the joystick’s original adapter might have been passive - no protocol adaptation required. Plugging it in resulted in the adapter being detected fine by Windows, but not behaving like a joystick was actually attached to it. Joystick Rehab’s description said “Mode S - Logitech ADI Joystick (for Logitech Wingman Digital, and Logitech Wingman Extreme Digital)” and I didn’t notice the name didn’t include “3D”. I bought a Mayflash Super Joy Box 7 gameport-to-usb adapter from (US site). I knew I needed to replace the USB adapter. I thought it would be fun to set it up and play TIE Fighter again, before deciding whether to keep or toss it. I knew it originally came with a USB adapter, but it was missing. Among them was my Logitech Wingman Extreme Digital 3D.
When I went home to visit my family for Thanksgiving, Mom dug out a few boxes that had been packed away since I left for university. After losing the original gameport-to-usb adapter for my Logitech joystick, I tried a 3rd party converter, found out that the joystick speaks USB natively, then replaced the joystick’s cable with a direct wired USB cable.
