Been searching and asking for atleast a year now, no luck

I have delphix but the force feedback doesn't seem to work at all with my USB control pad so I have given up and want to use the api of directx with delphi instead.,

I am a novice so firstly I need the SDK for delphi and need to know how to install it (i tried for delphi 4 that i use but it just comes up with error messages).

More importantly if noone can help me get delphix working with force feedback , perhaps they can give me a delphi project example of a working program invoking forcefeedback.

I know thats a lot to ask but I am at my wits end.
