Game Profiler Wizard
The Game Profiler Wizard allows you to download Profiles for your favorite games from
either the Saitek Product Companion CD or the Internet. These are Profiles written by our
in-house experts, to help you get the most from you new Saitek controller in as little time
as possible. To run the Wizard, follow these simple instructions:
1.
After you have completed testing your P1500, you will be asked to run the Game
Profiler Wizard, click on Yes to proceed.
2.
In the first screen you will be prompted to import the Profiles for your controller via
either the Internet or the CD-ROM. Check the box next to CD-ROM and click Next.
The software will scan your computer for those games you already have loaded and
will load the corresponding Profiles.
3.
When the Game Profiler Wizard has completed loading the Profiles, click on Next
and then Finish. Your Saitek P1500 is now ready for use with your favourite games.
Note: If no Profiles were found to match your existing games, don't worry, your controller
will still work in the standard way for all the games on your computer. Alternatively, you
can write your own Profiles using the Saitek Gaming Extensions (SGE) software - for
more details, see the Programming your Saitek P1500 with Saitek Gaming Extensions
(SGE) section of this manual.
Browse the CD
When the installation is complete, a Browse button will appear, which will give you
access to digital versions of the product documentation and to some useful utilities. Once
you have installed the Saitek P1500, whenever you re-insert the Product Companion CD,
the Browse option will appear.
Game On!
With the software successfully loaded for your Saitek P1500, you are now ready to start
your gaming. Simply load your favorite game and go for it!
If the installation process loaded Profiles for your existing games, then when you run one
of those games, Saitek's Smart Technology will automatically activate the relevant Profile.
This will set up your Saitek P1500 for that game.
If no Profiles were loaded when you installed the Saitek P1500, no need to worry, just
load your game in the usual way and the controller will automatically activate its default
settings.
Alternatively, you can write your own Profiles using the SGE software - for more details,
see the Programming your Saitek P1500 with Saitek Gaming Extensions (SGE) section of
this manual.
