Here’s the e-mail I just sent to technical support:

I am unable to install the Gemini Recoil PC gamepad (GGE908) on my Dell Inspiron 700m.

When I first plug it in, I get “USB Device Not Recognized”. When I follow the Windows dialog boxes, Windows can’t find any drivers on the CD included with your product.

When I run the “setup.exe” program on the CD, it runs through a wizard and adds a folder to my Start menu, but the only thing in that folder is “uninstall”.

I checked http://www.gemini-usa.com/gemini/support.asp and found a driver to download, but the zipped file on that site is password protected.

I’ve gone through the Windows troubleshooting guides several times, with no help.

I have restarted my computer and rerun “setup.exe” several times.

A few seconds after I pushed “send,” the following appeared in my inbox:

<techsupport@gemini-usa.com>: 216.182.17.254 does not like recipient.

Remote host said: 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for techsupport@gemini-usa.com

Giving up on 216.182.17.254.

Time to get the receipt and send that sad puppy back to Wal*Mart.

  • hola, nesecito el driver de instalacion de un control gemini modelo gge908, el cual no encuentro agradeceria el que me apoyaran con dicho driver, espero sus propuestas links o formas en mi correo gracias!!!
    sds!!!

  • I too have purchased the GGE908 controller from Walmart. I compared with other way higher price units. They did not seem to even come close to the quality and feel of this unit (Well made / solid). It would be even better if the thing worked. The install went without any problems. It shows HID (human interface) for the controller installed. The test utility that comes with it, all function work. Load the games (ie Air Assault). In the game options, able to configure each button/control, able to scroll with the controller within the game menu. And when game starts the seems for a instant the directional controle is responding then no response, except, I am able to fire with #8 button - that is it.
    Has their been any resolution for this flaky device. The product seems to work well for a few people and appear quit pleased with it. I'm sure I will be to, once I get it working.

  • I have this same very controller a GGE908 PC Recoil Pad and I can truely feel blessed that I dont have the issues that I see among the other comments. My only issue is after about 1 1/2 years of ownership with no complaints other than morrowinds funky right control stick configuration (thats the only game that warps the orientation of axis on right joystick). However I found another game thats even more bothersome for me when using this game pad. In Need For Speed Carbon my recoil pad never stops vibrating and there isn't any in game option to disable it. Using the control panel this controlers software came with I see that I am able to change strength of the vibrations to where they are non existant but when I leave that window after clicking apply, I would go into the game and find the vibrations are still there running all the time in game. I go back to the control panel and find that the force intensity setting is back to default setting. Anyways to cut down to the chase I tried looking up more recent drivers and software but in my searching I cant find any trace of my controllers manufacturor to download legitimate drivers from. does any of you know a decent configuration utility that will help disable this pesky vibration issue (note it only does it in Need for speed carbon.) "Though I feel its the games fault not my controller.

  • I bought the game pad at walmart. At first it was a bit complicated because there was no way to set the control functions, but after searching this site I found the right program to run along side it. Works great except I can't use the D-Pad.

  • I'm Tryin To Set The Controller Config For Madden NFL 07
    And It Will Not Be Config Like The Logitech Controller

  • I wouldn't be able to help you debug it, beyond asking the most obvious question -- does it work on a different computer?

  • I just got the GGE908 and the driver, however, it's not working to it's full potential. I can't click the "effect page" under the game controller configuration for the GGE908. It's aggravating because I can't even figure out what the function of the button is because the thing returns a damn error every time. The error is as follows:

    "The instruction at "0x10004590" referenced memory at "0x10004590". The memory could not be "written".

    Click OK to terminate the program
    Click on CANCEL to debug the program"

    OK closes it, CANCEL returns yet another wonderful error:

    "The exception unknown software exception (0xc000409) occured in the application at location 0x59a7295d."

    How am I to know what's under the effect page? I guess I'll never find out until it either stops being stubborn or somebody can assist. I'd really appreciate any help. :)
