    So. Who here remembers that epic failure of a game for the original X-Box? The one that came with the huuuuuuge controller? It was a fairly ambitious attempt at a mech game, with the controller intended to be a duplicate of the actual in game controller. $200 for a controller/game was pretty outlandish back then. And even more, now.

    Sadly, I have it, and its been sitting in a closet for years, the 360 not being able to use it or even play the original SB game. And with only two games using it (And the second game being online only...) its kind of useless.

    No more, I say! There have been PC drivers for a while, but kind of stopped around the XP era. But fear not, DLP, for my love of you (and hating to have a $200 paperweight), I have found a solution for you!

    Note: It was written with the intention of running on Mech Warrior 4, but the way its written, you could likely use it for other shit. And looks like it could be configured to work with other shit too fairly easily.

    Out of curiosity, is the original game any fun? :p

    IF you were into Mech games and what not, it was. It was not a game for casual players, I'd reckon.

    Played it a couple times as a kid, very difficult but I hugely enjoyed it. I love mechs.
