globeron Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Does someone know if this works under Windows 7 - 64-bit ? or if there is a driver for it? (USB device is not recognized). http://www.sinchai.de/index.php?main_page=page&id=17 It is a self built kit and I am not a specialist in soldering, I think everything went okay, but it does not get recognized.

+mizapf Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I'm using the "M" version (metal case) of the Sinchai adapter, usually under Linux, but it seems as if Windows 7 (64bit) also recognizes it here (without any driver). See the Device Manager window before and after plugging in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
globeron Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 (edited) Hi Michael, Thanks for the reply, now I know what I am searching for in the device manager section. I tried also on Windows 8 64 bit and it indicates that it cannot get the Device Descriptor (USB device not recognized) I think it will work in 64-bit as well (the software on the chip is USB-Joy 4313 version 2015-03-09) I am not sure if it is the soldering and some loose connections (will try to verify it again as I am not an expert in this, maybe the soldering is the issue) or a faulty component or a faulty chip causing it (once in Windows 7, I saw “Joystick” at the device management coming up, but after the reboot it did not come up anymore (only the USB Device not recognized error) I think first the device manager need to be solved, and after that it should work with Classic99 or other programs ?

+Schmitzi Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Hi, I think it should be recognized automatically in the windows´ devicemanager, as HID or Joystick. And it should run with windows onBoard standard-drivers..... I think this is one of it´s "gadgets" Did you flash any firmware to the adapter´s chip? (I read about firmware here in the web, so you maybe need a first flash at least, I assume) And there were some problems with Microsoft Sidewinders and this adapter (....as it was made for vintage sticks ) (but you are still not at this level, as your device itself is not "registered" in windows yet) So maybe there really is a hardware-problem ? or missing a flash ? schmitzi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
globeron Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 Thank you for your help. Today I finally got it to work (my bad soldering skills), now all is working fine (and can use The Arcade Suzo Joysticks when travelling and playing TI-99/4A games) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
globeron Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 Here is an alternative USB-to-Joystick (no soldering needed) which the developer tested with Classic99 http://atariage.com/forums/topic/246628-dual-joystick-usb-adapter/?do=findComment&comment=3389505 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
