This page is
dedicated to power Gamers. Throughout the development of Logitech®
Gaming Software
releases we use different tools to test, verify, and debug our code.
Based on the
feedback and the requests that we receive on a daily basis, we have decided to
share some of them with you.
As usual, use these tools at your own risk...
Here they are:
Caffeine Utility
new
Clear Calibration Utility
DXTweak 2
DX Deadzone Utility
JoyIDs Utility
MOMO®
Center Adjustment Utility
Poswdm Utility

Description:
This is an update to the DXTweak application that works with newer
USB devices. Has support for Windows® 98, 98se, Me, 2000, and
XP. DirectX 8.0 or later is required. Has support
for loading and saving of tweaks. See
Readme.txt file for
details.
Note: Under Windows® 2000/XP, the deadzone
setting cannot be saved. This is a DirectX issue and will hopefully
be resolved in the next release of DirectInput.

Description:
DXDeadZone allows you to change deadzone settings of a DirectInput game
controller. This utility works with Windows®
98, Windows®
98se, and Windows®
Me.
After much experimentation and interaction with
Microsoft®,
we have confirmed that there is no possibility to globally "tweak" the
DirectX deadzone for Windows® 2000/XP
using DirectX 8 or DirectX 9.
Microsoft®
is considering re-introducing this functionality for a later
revision of DirectX.
When and if the functionality is enabled in DirectX, then we will update DXDeadZone at
that time.

Description:
Users that have multiple gaming devices
attached to their computers will ultimately face the problem of having to deal
with "joystick IDs". A number of games are written in a way that
they will only read input from a joystick with a certain ID. The control
panel (as well as Profiler) provides a way of switching IDs, but the
control panel's way is cumbersome, and using Profiler to switch IDs may
be somewhat annoying as well. Both methods have the shortcoming of only
being able to move a controller to ID1, without managing other IDs.
To this end, Paul has created a nice utility which allows both
switching of IDs, as well as presetting several configurations (say, one for
racing games, one for platformers, and another one for flight sims) that can be
loaded by just double-clicking a configuration file. Paul's JoyIDs
utility can be a real timesaver for those that use multiple controllers!

Download the
JoyIDs installer. |
|
|
Run the installer. JoyIDs will be installed to the location of your
preference. Make sure to read the included documentation, and you'll be off
switching and swapping IDs in no time! |

Please provide any feedback about this utility to Paul directly, whose e-mail is
available in the utility itself.
Description:
update
Some customers have mentioned that even with the
maximum values allowed by the utility, their wheel still remains slightly off
center. Therefore, the utility has been updated so that you can enter higher
values.
Even after installing WingMan® software version 4.11c
or later, some users
have reported a slight offset in the centering of their MOMO® Force
wheels.
This means that if you were to turn the wheel completely to
the left, then completely to the right, and then release the wheel, it would not
appear to be centered with respect to the base.
This utility will allow users to "tweak" the center
position of the wheel.
- Download
MOMOTweak.exe.
- Launch MOMOTweak.exe.
- Follow the instructions.

confirm that all the axes and buttons are working on your device.
