get vibration with generic gamepad on windows 7/ vista / xp 32bit and 64bit(x64)


i recently purchased a 12 button gamepad with joysticks and force feedback for 280 rs. The company name on the package was given as catek/AT-CHEETAH.

later when i searched the net with the hardware id i found quite number of devices share the same id HID\VID_0079&PID_0006&REV_0107. everest utily showed manaufacturer name of my gamepad as Dragonrise. companies like foxconn, topway, enter, tesun etc also seems to have products with same id. initially i got drivers from topway site for force feedback whick worked only in xp 32 bit , no vibration in windows 7 / vista or xp x64.

After searching net for quite a long time and downloading and trying every driver out there , i almost lost hope. Then some search a google directed me tho this site . Downloaded the driver package from the site and to my astonishment got vibration working in xp 64bit. and later found out it also worked in windows 7 64bit.

To test the vibration function you can use forcetest utility which can be got by google search or can be downloaded here.
