I have two old sidewinders that I've been trying to get to work with my pc and my pi2. I have a usb adapter but it doesn't seem to work. I also have a newer, logitech attack 3 usb that works fine in windows, but most buttons won't bind in pi2/retropie. I imagine I will have to edit manually. Anyways, has anyone got these to work in newer versions of windows? Should I buy a pci card with serial input? Pic related.

but those are Logitech Wingmans (Wingmen?)
Sidewinders were from Microsoft
>I have a usb adapter but it doesn't seem to work.
at least the left one should come with a passive Gameport to USB adapter cable. with it, it works fine in Windows 7. also install Wingman/Logitech Gaming Software version 5.whatever - there's supposedly a newer version but it won't work with older devices
>Should I buy a pci card with serial input?
you're better off buying an active Gameport-USB adapter, which should work with any gameport controller, though I suspect you might lose some buttons

Ah sorry, they are wingmans says right there. Just used to saying sidewinders, sorry.
