while looking for a new joystick with a usb i would like
to purchase a microsoft sidewinder 2. the problem is that
it does not say that it would be compatible with the xp
home system. anyone have more information on this
thanks!!!
 
If it's the USB Sidewinder with the v4.0 CD, it will work just fine on XP...
PROVIDING you remember to install the software BEFORE connecting the
joystick to the USP port.

Actually you only need to install the software if you want the keymapping
ability. If all you want is joystick control just plug it in and it will
work, the drivers are already in the OS.
