Hope you can help - I am guessing that answer is that my joystick is bust, but you never know!
I have an old CMS Super 8 PC joystick with a 15 pin adapter. Obviously new PC's do not have this connector so I purchased a Mayflash 15 adapter (has P W S settings for joypad, wheel and joystick)
PC recognised the adapter and I plugged my CMS into it again recognised this the USB Gamepad Controllers (showed as Gameport to USB Controller)
However when it came to calibration there was a problem:
I selected settings / calibrate and let the calibration wizard run through.
Firstly states leave the handle centred - I do - but when I press next it is already pointing up / left.
I push left axis is bottom left. I push up, axis is top right. I push right, axis is just left from centre bottom and down it is pointing at 2pm.
I have tried calibration on all P, W and S settings to no avail.
So all messed up. So not sure if it is the joystick that is the problem or just need some help with the configuration.
I tried mapping to keyboard using AntiMicro but only up and left appear to work. With a bit of investigation using DIView there is a problem with the Y and X axis. A working joystick for instance shows Y axis. 50% in the centre (32767) and 0 on the left and 65535 on the right. Moving my working joystick up, the % goes to 0 and 32767 goes to 0 also. Moving it down, % goes to 100% and 65535
However on my CMS middle shows 63% - moving it down goes to 22% and 14592, moving it up it goes to 2.34% and 1536.
So it appears axis is messed up. I looked at some of the figures to be amended and set deadzone to 35 for this Y axis and it shows 50% now in the centre. tried amending the calibration figures of min, centre and max - however whatver number I press - then I pull the joystick down it NEVER goes over 50% - so I dont get the pull down from 0% to 100% like I do with my other joystick.
Sorry if a bit too long but wanted to give as much info as possible (using a Win 10 machine btw)
Many thanks
