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.

  • I purchased the J44416 camera and I have put in the CD-ROM disk, but I can't seem to find the Registeration Serial number anywhere on the disk or the package it came in can you email me the registeration Serial Number so that I can complete the setup?

  • I solved the analog problem by turning off analog and turning it back on. It doesn't dis-calibrate after that. Tested it and it works with Total Carnage (game that uses both at the same time) and it is good. Also shows accurate in the game controller settings.

  • The left analog is crap. Jumps up like 40 degrees on X+. It's probably the drivers. but mostly the controller is okay. Street fighter works pretty good MAME, ZSNES works too.

  • also, this controller works great for me on every game i've tried it on. GTA III, Vice City, San Andreas, LOTR Return of the King, Morrowind. My only issue is that the right analog stick behaves like it has been turned 90 degrees. So right is up and left is down and so on. But this seems to be a common issue with other controllers as well. Any help?

  • in response to #40 and 41, which appear to be the same post, Fable: Lost Chapters does NOT support any controllers. It was stated by Lionhead long before the game came out. The only solution there would be to download some other app that would let you assign the keys to the controller, thereby tricking the game into thinking you are using the mouse and keyboard. I believe someone mentioned a program earlier in the post called ControlMK. The http is on number 23's post.

  • I install the cd ,and made all the test and working BUT I try to play unreal tournament 2003 and the controler don't reconized the game...

  • Total and complete PoS. Button 4 quit after about 3 weeks (having used it all of maybe 2 hours). Button 3 out after 5 weeks- cheaply made crap.

  • i have the same peace of shit controller if im not contacted by the makers of this unit im going to send a email out to every store and web requesting it be removed from all shelves evey where.

  • Junk. Scrap it NOW. Total POS.
    I agree with above RE. REAL GAMERS:
    "USE THE KEYBOARD AND MOUSE."
    *I tried it all with this controler, it IS Junk.
