Just for future reference - I got my steering wheel working however only
button 3 and 4 work which is ok since I use them to change gears on the
steering wheel (Thrusmaster Grand Prix 1)
This would probably suit all latest Gigabyte M/B's and considering the Game
cable is no longer supplied hopefully it may help out someone else
Pin on Joystick end of cable -> Pin on M/B
1 -> 1
2 -> 13
3 -> 2
4 -> 3
5 -> 10
6 -> 11
7 -> 15
8 -> 5
9 -> 12
10 -> ???
11 -> 6
12 -> ???
13 -> 7
14 -> ???
15 -> ???
I dont really need the other 2 buttons but shouldnt be too hard to figure
out with only 4 wires unconnected. If anyone gets them going please post.
