Ok. I have a gamepad and a PC. The PC is running Windows 95 with USB support. I got a driver installed and the computer recognizes the gamepad, but not as a gamepad. Instead it's grouped as HIDClass or something. Anyone know what I can do to make it work?

Get an OS that isn't 10 years old.

Windows 95 with USB support is like a Packard with ABS support. You can patch it, try to make it have modenr features, but it just won't work. If your computer is that much of a piece of crap that it can't even handle Windows 98, then try to find a serial gamepad if they still make them.

The USB support built into Windows 95 is very primitive... (then again, it wasn't much better in 98 or Me either ). I was lucky once to get a USB hard disk working in Win95, but I had to do a bit of .inf hacking

But seriously, do what Yiffy Kitten said. Get Windows 2000 or something.

Then I'd say get an OS that isn't 5 years old... but at least Win2k is still SUPPORTED.

If you want Win2K, get WinXP and turn the skins off.

Who the hell still use Win95 ? Even on my oldest computer, I have 2k installed. Well, you have to download the drivers for your gamepad and install them manually. This is win95 after all. I don't know how 95 deal with USB since I didn't had usb ports at the time I was using win95...

Err... The guy who maintains this website
Edit: his current computer is at the top here. Except for Windows 95, Windows NT 4, and SuSE Linux, all the other mentioned OSes are in emulators

I hope it's at least the latest version of 95 (95C?). That wasn't too bad.

Actually, it's Windows 95B... 95C has IE4 integrated like Windows 98 did.

Well, I dunno. The PC is mainly for old games and such. I would love if it would work though.

If you just use it for older games not compatible with other OSes, try finding an old serial controller on eBay. It'd be your best bet.
