Dear GWS fans,
Guys, please give up to use the parallel port cable because it only works in Win95, 98 and ME. I consulted the technical department from GWS already and they will develop for 2000 and XP but you need to wait.
If you cannot wait anymore, try to look for "Smartpropo", it is freeware. It can works with FMS, Dream Starter II in Win2000 and XP. I am now fly (and crash also) without any problem.
First, prepare an audio cable, make sure it is registered, otherwise it will spoil your sound card (I use the JVC audio cable). Follow the instrustion in Smartpropo manual. Try this on your own risk. You may see some warning dialogue. Don't be afraid. Just do it. This will not cause any lose of your body but only money.
Remember to edit in Registry Editor. This is very important. Click "Start" at the Task bar then "Run" and type "regedit". Enter "OK". Change the registry by:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\MediaProperties\PrivateProperties\Joystick\OEM\VID_045E&PID_1100]
"OEMName"="SmartPropo Game Device"
"OEMData"=hex:01,00,08,10,0a,00,00,00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\MediaProperties\PrivateProperties\Joystick\OEM\VID_045E&PID_1100\Axes]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\MediaProperties\PrivateProperties\Joystick\OEM\VID_045E&PID_1100\Axes\6]
"Attributes"=hex:00,00,00,00,01,00,33,00
You must familiar with Win XP or just try to read HELP in Windows.
Paste the "Futaba PPM" in the folder where "FMS" exist (not in the Desktop). Open Smartpropo and tune in by its "Property". Remember not to close Smartpropo as long as your FMS works. Now you can play. Have fun.
This is the tips I get from Germany and Belgium experts.
