In Reply to: has anyone made an analog stick from a DC hack? I haven't been able to pull it off... (NT) posted by Joshua on 22, 2001 at 6:09 PM:
I have an adapter called the "Smart Joy 2", which lets you use a PC keyboard as a controller, the numeric keypad is mapped to the analog stick, the arrows are mapped the digital pad. I used a PowerRamp and was able to program it for games that required the analog stick. Remapability is definately needed on the encoder/pad you're going to use, as certain games have wierd controls that wouldn't work on a Joystick setup, like having Y as forward, X as backward, analog stick left to turn left, and analog stick right to turn right... I mapped these to the joystick, and it works fine.
