Anything made this side of the millenium should run on XP just fine.

I don't think it will work IME and if it does, I would go out and buy a lottery ticket real quick! You should have a winner. Some adaption will work, most will not on specific applications.. Usually if an adaptor does work with any amount of total success, it will have a companion driver so that emulation/adaptation/conversion takes place properly. In other words, all the hardware and the operating system can communicate and understand each other through software. Problems such as this have been posted here before. As for the game working, we can't gaurantee that unless we knew the game which is outside the scope of this forum.

I just ordered one through Ebay. I have an older set of CH Rudder pedals that are db15 only. I will post back with the outcome. XP did not originally support gameport devices. These adapters are a result.
