8 Fire Button Digital Gamepad
Your RadioShack 8 Fire Button Digital Gamepad lets you take control of the
latest computer games! The gamepad’s long cable makes it easy to use it
with your computer. The gamepad’s advanced features include:
Thumb-Control Pad — allows precise control in eight directions.
Eight Control Buttons — give you the flexibility you need to play games with
multiple controls.
Master Turbo/Automatic Fire Selector — lets you fire a continuous or single
high-speed blast.
COMPATIBILITY
Hardware — Your gamepad works with IBM
®
and compatible PCs equipped
with a joystick port, using the industry-standard 15-pin D subminiature con-
nector. Joystick ports are also available on game cards and enhanced sound
cards.
Important Notes:
• To take advantage of all of your gamepad’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)).
• You must have DirectX
®
5.0 or above installed on your computer to prop-
erly 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 Windows
95 or 98 and any PC-
compatible software that supports a gamepad.
Note: The function of each of the gamepad’s buttons depend on the game
you are playing. Consult your game’s owner’s manual for more information.
