"now, do you have any way to get a cheep controller to eliminate a handful of possibilities?"
I have this one on the way: http://www.amazon.com/PS2-USB-Dual-Controller-Adapter-Converter/dp/B000F6BGXY
PS2 controllers are the only controllers I know that the face buttons or the dpad don't stick over time. Logitech's do it in like 2 weeks for me and I don't like xbox controllers.
"oh and BTW: I only see talk of x86 above, did you make any typos? Just want to make sure the info is clear up there. Am I correct in assuming x64 = broken for everything?"
Yes, broken for me as in constant, ramp, etc. doesn't show in the box.
"At the current do you get options in 86 but not in 64? If nothing shows that means the driver didnt report any FFB options."
Correct, I get options in x86 and not x64 when choosing dinput for the controller only.
"I'm not trying to one up you on searching the net by any means here but did you see this?"
No, trying it out now.
