Re: Need Win 7 Driver for Old PC Gameport Device Plugged via

Just out of curiosity, why are you wanting this particular joystick so badly and not a modern one that's natively USB? What, you mean like a thumb-stick or something? Nah. I read that page that was linked to above. So will a Rockfire Gameport to USB converter, model RM-203 suffice for lack of a mod...

I keep finding lots of instances of a model RM-203. Will that do as well as a model RM-203U?

Need Win 7 Driver for Old PC Gameport Device Plugged via USB

I've just gotten a PC Raider joystick ( this ) from Amazon. It's has a 15-pin male plug, so I also got a USB adaptor for it too. When I plug it into my Win 7 Pro 64-bit system via USB, it reads as an "unknown device" and doesn't seem to install any driver software and so the joystick does ...

Perhaps. Trouble is, I can't build that stuff. No building on my behalf, please.

Okay, forget the above-quoted price of >=$300US for a post or two. What already-built system can you show me that can be delivered to me, ready for me to install my Win7 Pro OS onto and go.

Yes, that's right. I'm getting rid of those. None of those are the right subtitles that I need. The right subtitles are in the .SRT, and I want those embedded into the movie.

So what about those settings in the lower area? ???

Please tell me how to like integrate an .SRT file into an .MKV file, please.

That way I'll have better .MKVs with properly embedded subtitles and can then get rid of the .SRTs as they would no longer be needed.
