Zykon Virtual Twister Game Controller
Has anyone got this controller to work under Windows XP? If so could you possibly give me some hints or point me in the direction of a driver for it. Many Thanks J.

Hi there!
Yes, I got this joypad, too. And yes, I got it running on WinXP Pro with the default driver which comes with the OS (6-button joystick with POV, thrust, paddles, ...).
But since this driver does only support the basic functions of the Zykon Virtual Twister, you can use the normal d-pad, 4 buttons (button 5+6 are instant fire of buttons 1+2), thrust, paddles and the coolie hat (= motion-sensor technology works fine) only. You cannot program any buttons since the software needed for that purpose is installed together with the Win9x driver and will likely not run on WinXP.
Also I noticed on Win98SE with DirectX 8.0 or greater that the Twister control-panel and activator keeps crashing. Note: this does only happen with DirectX 8.0 or greater; DirectX 7 works fine. Hope this helps.
