Retail Boxed by Rockfire Review: For my old CH Products gear, & Windows 7 Pro - I haven't used my old CH Products flight gear since they stopped putting a gameport in computers . . . that is, years ago. With the recent release of Microsoft's new free game, FLIGHT, I thought it was about time to dust off my old gameport CH Products game controllers and go for a fly. So I was really happy to find the Rockfire RM-203 adapter that turns my old gameport gear into USB gear. This is a lot cheaper than replacing all my gear with all the new USB counterparts! The Rockfire adapter has 4-modes, each mode for use with various brands of controllers (see later paragraph). CH Products works with Mode 2. I say 'works' although not all the buttons on the controllers will function. First I hooked up my old CH rudder pedals and my old CH Virtual Pilot Pro yoke with the Rockfire adapter. Here's my results (also see the photo I uploaded): CH PRODUCTS VIRTUAL PILOT PRO (w/ CH Rudder Pedals) --------------------------------------------------- * Turn & pitch (x & y axis) = works * Buttons = 4 of 6 work (in this order: Y Y N --- N Y Y) * Hat switches = 1 of 2 works (just the right one) * Throttle control = (slider) works * Rudder pedals = (z axis) works I also tried my CH Products F16 Combatstick and rudder pedals with the same results: CH PRODUCTS F16 COMBATSTICK (w/ CH Rudder Pedals) ------------------------------------------------- * Turn & pitch (x & y axis) = works * Buttons = 4 of 6 work (red trigger, red thumb on grip, gray thumb on face/top, red pinkie) * Hat switches = 1 of 2 works (top one, not the 4-way) * Throttle wheel = (slider) works * Rudder pedals = (z axis) works When I incorporated my CH Pro Throttle into either of the above setups, all that works on the Pro Throttle is the slider itself (no buttons, no hat, no switch), and the configurations stayed the same as noted above except the throttle controls (slider) were transferred to the Pro Throttle. I am using Windows 7 Pro 64-bit, and all the drivers are built in. The Rockfire adapter makes the old gameport controllers plug and play USB. You can still bring up the Game Controllers box in Windows and run a calibration. Although I only have CH Products gear, the Rockfire adapter box says it also works with the following brand peripherals in the other modes. I can't verify any of these other modes, because I only have CH Products and am using Mode 2. I just thought this may help someone. * Mode 1: Avant Garde, Bazooka Fighter, and Thrustmaster FCS compatibles * Mode 2: Maya Fighter, and CH Products Flightstick Pro compatibles * Mode 3: Fire Plus, Fire Dragon, and other 4-axis, 4-button joystick compatibles * Mode 4: Silver Hawk II, Space Ranger, and other sophisticated 2-axis, 6-button gamepad compatibles In conclusion: Obviously, if you are a serious virtual pilot you will want to replace (or more likely, already have replaced) all your old gear with the new and no doubt improved USB models, so that all of the buttons, hats and switches work. But if you are a casual virtual pilot, or just someone who wants to dust off their old gear from the box in the closet for a few hours of fun, then I can definitely recommend the Rockfire RM-203 Gameport Adapter for a simple and cheap solution. Review: Doesn't identify the joystick model, but does work - I have been using this Rockfire adapter on a computer with a dual boot of Windows 7 (64bit) and Linux Mint 17 (64bit). I have used it with both a Gravis Analog Pro and a CH Flightstick Pro. The adapter has a switch that is supposed to let you choose between Switch position 1 __ Thrustmaster FCS and compatible Switch position 2 __ CH Flightstick Pro and compatible Switch position 3 __ 4-axis 4-button joysticks Switch position 4 __ 2-axis 8-button gamepads Both Windows 7 and the joystick tester in Linux Mint 17 (jstest-gtk) identify the joystick by what switch position is used on the Rockfire -- not by what joystick is attached to it. However none of the switch positions identify the CH Flightstick Pro as a CH Flightstick Pro. This is how they are identified by jstest-gtk: Switch position 1: 2-axis, 4-button joystick with view finder, rudder Axes: 5 Buttons: 4 Switch position 2: 4-axis, 4-button joystick with view finder Axes: 6 Buttons: 4 Switch position 3: 4-axis, 4-button joystick Axes: 4 Buttons: 4 Switch position 4: 2-axis, 8-button gamepad Axes: 2 Buttons: 8 Results in Windows are similar (unplug USB connector, change switch on Rockfire, plug back into USB port, check what it says about the joystick in DEVICES AND PRINTERS). Results should be different for the four different switch positions. None of these really match the configuration of my CH Flightstick Pro, which has the 2-axis stick plus the throttle gear (3-axis), 4 buttons (one of which is the trigger) plus the hat switch (aka the "view finder"). Calibration options for the CH Flightstick Pro with the Rockfire in either Windows or Linux are limited. Aside from being able to outline the reach of the joystick, you get what you get. No ability to calibrate dead zone or sensitivity. I'm not sure why they specifically mention the CH Flightstick Pro when switch position #2 actually seems to be for a different CH model -- or maybe one with more pieces than the joystick, like a configuration that includes a separate throttle or pedals. Certainly my CH Flightstick Pro does not have 6 axes. However the Rockfire does work for basic joystick function. So far I've mainly used it for playing DOS games in DOSBox, where I have to do additional calibrations once the game is started - one for the DOSBox mapper and one for the game itself. Without calibrating the DOSBox mapper, only one of the buttons (button one - the trigger) works. Without using the game's calibration system, the joystick cursor is often stuck in the upper left corner. I see a slight lag in DOSBox, but then I see that in DOSBox with a joystick with a direct USB connection too so I am inclined to blame DOSBox's less-than-perfect support for joysticks rather than the adapter. ## Features - USB GamePort Adapter - Use to Connect ANALOG Only JOYSTICKS to the Computer - Has 4 Different Analog Joystick Modes - Works with Windows XP to Windows 7 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004HAX7OU | | Brand | RockFire | | Color | Turquoise | | Compatible Devices | PC | | Connector Type | USB Type A | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 200 Reviews | | Finish | Matte | | Item Dimensions | 7.1 x 1.7 x 6.4 inches | | Item Weight | 0.02 Pounds | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 7.1 x 1.7 x 6.4 inches | | Manufacturer | PCCables.com | | Mfr Part Number | 70609 | | Model Number | RM-203 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Ports | 1 | | Package Quantity | 1 | | Power Plug Type | No Plug | | Specific Uses For Product | gaming | | UPC | 820799706095 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Color:** Turquoise - **Compatible Devices:** PC - **Connector Type:** USB Type A - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 7.1 x 1.7 x 6.4 inches - **Specific Uses For Product:** gaming ## Images ![USB Game Port Adapter Rockfire RM-203 gameport - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41RFgfdi9jL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: has anyone tried this with a Logitech Wingman Interceptor? Curious to know if the throttle level and button above the trigger work.** A: I have used it with the Suncom F-15 Talon with Throttle, and it works great. Just need to make sure you have the switch set correctly for 3 or 4 analog inputs, and your throttle should work fine. It appears to accept all of the normal joystick port buttons, so it should work with the buttons also. I bought 2 so that I can use the rudder pedals I have also, and they work together just fine. I am running them on Windows 7 with no problem. **Q: Will this work with a Logitech Wingman Extreme Digital Joystick? The15 pin connector looks correct.** A: No, this does not work. I did purchase this specifically for the Wingman Extreme Digital, but it did not work in any of the modes. With a little more research, I found that this is for analog joysticks, like the older Logitech Attack or CH brand sticks, and is a converter for those into USB signal. For digital joysticks, there is typically a USB device inside the controller, so a simpler DB15 Gameport to USB adapter is the way to go. However, I found that the adapter needs to be built specifically for a joystick model, or you may need to some little hacks. The Wingman Extreme Digital originally had the required USB adapter, but I had lost mine, so I purchased the Belkin model available here on Amazon, but had to short pins 2 and 7 with a twist tie wrapped around them to trigger the controller's USB mode. I did this on the cable pins, but you could crack open the controller and solder the connections, too. Hope that points anybody looking for the same thing in the right direction. **Q: How would i get this to work with a saitek r100 sports wheel?** A: I've had good luck using this with my analog Gravis Blackhawk; I'd recommend using the left-right of the wheel as your Y-axis and gas and brake as X-axis, then setup as a joystick with buttons. Personally I use setting 3 on the Rockfire. **Q: Is this a good choice for hooking up a classic gravis gamepad to a newer pc?** A: I don't know if it will. It works for my old Joystick. When I get around to it I plan on trying a game pad. Give it a shot and see if it works. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For my old CH Products gear, & Windows 7 Pro *by K***L on March 20, 2012* I haven't used my old CH Products flight gear since they stopped putting a gameport in computers . . . that is, years ago.

However, when I sat down to really take stock of the labor I'd be doing, I checked around to see what was already on the market. Turns out, not a whole lot! There is this Rockfire adapter and a couple knock-offs, all for the same price. Since they're all the same reasonable amount of coin, and my time isn't free, I decided to go with the one all the others are copying. The box for the product looks and feels like it came straight out of Fry's back in 1999, and for a piece of retro-to-modern kit that's perfect. Instructions are short, clear, and to the point. Set the switch, plug in your old-timey joystick, then stick the USB end into your computer. Win7 automatically snagged the appropriate driver and I was up and running in about five seconds. My old much-in-need-of-cleaning Thrustmaster Pro FCS calibrated about as well as can be expected with old, dirty pots, and with a bit of deadzone tweaking I was playing Wing Commander the way I prefer it once again. All buttons/switches registered correctly, and without any perceptible lag/delay (I can't feel microseconds). $25 felt a little high for what amounts to a simple DAC and USB module, but I can't argue with results. Instead of tearing apart a donor stick and spending an hour soldering and swearing at 24ga wires, I got a simple blue dongle that does the boring work for me. If you've got an old analogue flight stick you love, give this thing a shot. Yes, you could get a brand new basic flight stick for the same price, but if you've got an old top-shelf stick sitting in your closet, or you've picked one up off eBay for playing old games off GOG/in DOSBox, it's worth the price of admission. One thing of note: If you are using a full HOTAS setup, you might actually need two of these things. Back in the day, some stick + throttle or stick + throttle + pedal setups required the use of multiple game ports, or active splitters to get all the signals through. This device cannot handle those setups by its lonesome. Just keep that in the back of your mind if you've got the full cockpit of controls, and can't get everything to work together all at once - you might need a second adapter. Thumbs up.
