and now i'm going to say.. 'but isn't that a DOS program?'.. DOS joystick apps are typically only good for stuff connected to the joystick port.. i'm using a parallel port hack (much like how SNES or PSX pads are typically connected to a PC). Direct Pad Pro is already 'tricking' all other windows apps into thinking it is a regular joystick so now almost any windows utils will do for the stick remapping. but the main thing here is that i can somehow disable the remapping when, say, mame.exe is running (or maybe enable when explorer.exe or whatever has the focus).. since i don't want keypresses involved when i'm playing games! :) i haven't seen anything like this around.. i've been looking for a long time. the purpose of the remapping is mainly scrolling through a gamelist in a frontend or MAME32. anyone have a similar setup.. or know what would be useful for this? thanks! :)


: I use JoyEmu to make my Sidewinder control send keyboard strokes. Now I know you're going to say "but doesn't the Sidewinder do that anyway?". Yes, but only the buttons, not the directional keys, and the JoyEmu program lets you program 2 SHIFT keys (holding a certain button changes the functions of all other buttons) which lets that little game pad do about everything you could want, including all the admin stuff...

: But to the point. Check the downloads section of this web site (BYOAC) for what you need... :P

: : Anyone know of a program for remapping the mouse and/or keyboard to the joystick with a joystick (properly configured in control panel gaming options) that can be put on hold when certain exe's are run (i.e. stop giving mouse/key commands through the joystick when mame.exe is running).. my controls (parallel port interface) are working great through direct pad pro in all the emulators i use.. now if i can just start the games up with them and lose the keyboard and mouse :) any ideas?
