Actually, you only have to be able to INSTALL the joystick, they button mapping software would let the sidewinder emulate keyboard presses, but you don't need to do that for mame - it understands what JOY 7, and JOY START are just fine :)
:
: To my knowledge, MS no longer supports the button mapping software for gameport Sidewinders, and it will NOT install under 2000/XP (even the newest version available (4.0) will only work in XP with USB pads).
: If you go with this option, I think you're limited to 95/98/ME.
