Microsoft SideWinder Strategic Commander driver download list Description: Microsoft SideWinder Strategic Commander driver setup Version: 4.2.8 Date: 09 Sep 2014 Filesize: 0.81 MB Operating system: Windows XP, Visa, Windows 7,8 (32 & 64 bits). Supported OS: Windows 10, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 7, Windows Vista. Drivers Update Tool Information This utility contains the only official version for SideWinder Game Pad USB version 1.0 Driver for Windows XP/7/Vista/8/8.1/10 32-bit and 64-bit versions.

The back story: After the remake of Age of Empires II I searched for my old Sidewinder Strategic Commander and found it in old box. Sadly the drivers don't work with Windows 7 but the device registers a regular USB HID Device. So I started reverse engineering the protocol and I started writing a small replacement for the original Sidewinder Tool in C#. I managed to read the Device but never finished the complete readout or the button emulation part. Today, by sheer luck, I discovered the wonderful FreePIE project.

It took me the afternoon but I adopted my early unfinished work to FreePIE and finished it. The Plugin: Attached in the archive is the plugin including the source files, a binary, a sample script and my revers engineering results. Just copy the dll to the plugins directory and you are good to go. I used ILMerge to bind the HidLibrary into the dll so if you build it yourself you have to copy the HidLibrary.dll to the FreePIE root directory.

Known Bugs:. FreePIE 0.6.277.0 crashes when no SideWinder is connected. Works in GIT Version. FreePIE does not close after using the plugin (does not happen when I build it as Debug) seems to be a local issue, see my reply below PS: I am from Germany so sorry for the bad English.

You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post. Welcome to the forum Julian and thanks for trying out FreePIE's plugin API! Nice work on integrating that old thing into FreePIE About your problems 1) Start method should be protected, meaning any errors thrown here should not crash FreePIE.

If the error is thrown from unmanaged code (C library etc) it can take FreePIE with it. Managed code (C# etc) should work. 2) Again sounds like some unmanaged code not being disposed correctly, or if you have a background thread not being aborted.

I will have to look at the code to know more, will let you know what I find.
