Testing your joystick
• You can do test your stick at any time by Clicking on Start, then Settings and
selecting Control Panel in Windows (XP users may only need to click on Start and
then Control Panel)
• Look for an icon called either Game Controllers or Gaming Options (XP users may
have to click Printers and Other Hardware first).
• Open the Game Controllers/Gaming Options window then the name of your
controller should show up.
• Click on Properties and this will bring up the test screen.
• Moving your controller and pressing the buttons should result in a response in this
screen; if it's responding in there then you know that the controller is okay.
Enabling your controller in game
Most games support game controllers, which you can enable by using a [control] options
menu within the Main Menu of the game itself.
If you are having trouble working out how to do this or if you're unsure whether the game
being used supports game controllers, please refer to the user manual for that game for
more help.
