I don't know who is going to support it, but Ariston closed down a few months ago.

I have not tried it, but a lot of people like USB Overdrive ( http://www.usboverdrive.com ). Its shareware, but it might work for you.

Cheers!

Thanks for yours responses on my question!
I have tried the USB-overdrive software and it solved the problem with the StarWars racer game

Still I am confused over why Ariston closed down? They recently claimed that they were the fastest growing company in US! And the gamepad is of good solid quality!
