Tried using some plain old steel wire and it would just touch other pins or the side of the metal housing and never make a good connection. WOW! This WORKED! You are amazing! Can you explain what is going on with the shutting? Why does that make it work? Also the twist tie was the ticket. I uploaded another picture here that shows which two pins I had to connect together. Don't lose hope!ĮDIT: Sorry if the picture is a little hard to see (it's in my review of the item from Amazon). The shunt may be a teeny bit hard to see, but I'm connecting the second from the left pin with the right most pin. It auto-detected just fine in Windows 10. HOWEVER! I found a part on Amazon that works a treat with some minor modifications (I used a twist-tie):Īnd I had to shunt two of the pins together:Īnd everything was fine. I lost the USB adapter (I got the thing close to 20 years ago after all). Erple2: Sorry to come late to the party, but I have the Precision Pro joystick that had the USB adapter that came in the box.
