8 Fire Button Digital/Analog Gamepad

Your RadioShack 8 Fire Button Digital/Analog Gamepad lets you take control of the latest MS-DOSand Windowscomputer games! The gamepad’s advanced features include:

Analog/Digital Control — lets you switch between analog and digital control for different types of games. Analog control provides better response for driving and flight simulation games, while digital control provides better performance for action and fighting games.

Analog Throttle — lets you easily control throttle functions in many driving and flight simulation games.

Dual Triggers and 6 Control Buttons — give you the flexibility you need to play games with multiple controls. You can disable individual pairs of control buttons, letting you use an additional gamepad or joystick in some 2-player games.

Analog Joystick — allows precise control in an almost infinite number of directions.

Thumb-Control Pad — allows precise control in eight directions.

Independent/Automatic Fire Selectors — let you fire a continuous or single high-speed blast from one button while manually controlling the others.

COMPATIBILITY

Hardware — Your gamepad works with IBM ® and compatible PCs equipped with a joystick port, using the industry-standard 15-pin D sub- miniature connector. Joystick ports are also available on game cards and enhanced sound cards.

Important Notes:

•To take advantage of all of your game- pad’s features, you must have a game card with a single dual port installed in your computer. (A dual-port game card is

designed to run two 2-button joysticks or gamepads at the same time using a Y- connector).

•Make sure you have only one game card (such as a sound card or multi I/O card with a built-in game port) enabled at once. If you have multiple game cards enabled, they might conflict with one another, caus- ing your gamepad to operate erratically. If you have a dedicated game card, you must disable your sound card’s or multi I/O card’s game port. Check your comput- er’s documentation or contact your com- puter dealer for more information, if necessary.

•You must have DirectX® 5.0 or above in- stalled on your computer to properly test the gamepad with the included driver. If necessary, you can download DirectX at www.microsoft.com/directx/default.asp.

Software — You can use your gamepad with any PC-compatible software that supports a gamepad.

Note: The function of each of the gamepad’s buttons depends on the game you are playing. Consult your game’s owner’s manual for more information.
