rudder pedals

[pervert]

Got a set of racing pedals from my old playstation 2 they are modena 360 and have an 9 pin serial connection. I got a usb converter for
the serial connection but window (its xp home ) still doesnt recognize it tryed hardware scans and nothing. I know this works for people
because I have seen a few players on here who use the same setup but theres was a usb connection to start with not a serial connection.
Have tryed downloading the drivers for this model off thrustmaster website. Anyone help me with this please?

You can go from gameport to USB, but I've never heard going from SERIAL to USB...

You might not even be able to pull that off.

Thanks Krusty I feared that might be the case. Looks like I'm gonna have to pony up the cash for some ch pedals been looking at a few on ebay but they all go used for near enough the same price as brand new (which is weird).

This might work afterall.  Being the pedals are a 'serial' device, there's a good chance windows won't automatically find them.

You can go to http://www.geocities.com/deonvdw/PPJoy.htm]]http://www.geocities.com/deonvdw/PPJoy.htm to download drivers that may make the serial pedals (most likely it will be considered a 'joystick') work with XP.

I've never used PPJoy before, but if it doesn't automatically allow it to work, you might need to add the pedals manually by following these steps:

Go to control panel/add hardware.  When it doesn't find them, select "already connected" and then scroll down to the bottom of the list and select "Add a new hardware device."

Next select "Add hardware manually", then "Show All devices".

At this point you'll have to look through the list.. look for PPJoy references, or perhaps click on "have disk" and point towards the location of where the PPJoy stuff was installed.

If they're car racing pedals, they will be set up with one axis allocated to each pedal. For rudders, you want both pedals working a single axis. CH pedals have a switch to switch the circuitry from one mode to the other (plane or car).
I'm not sure if you pedals can do this? If they can, no worries, if not, you may need to rewire them along the lines of how the CH pedals work. The non-pro pedals are a good simple example of this.
