I know most sound cards have a midi/gameport on them. Is there a way to use this? I am sure there is but I am not sure where to start.

If you can't find it, Build It.

 

There is no place Like 127.0.0.1 also don't forget 1 + 1 = 10

Havent seen a recent sound blaster with a gameport.

Besides I think gameports are completely replaced by USB, I dont think there is still a joystick on the market that connects through the gameport (at least I hope not ;) ).

Nothing is as illusive as 'the last bug'.

I don't think game controlers use them anymore... but I know they are still sometimes used for midi. Don't know about soundcards carrying them... but my Asus A8N Deluxe mobo has a midi/gameport built onto it. No idea how to access them programatically though... sorry.

Thanks, I am basiclly looking for away to use/make a controller to use the gameport to control my software.
