Well, its been a while since I posted a good stumper of a question,
so here goes:
I purchased an Advanced Gravis ADB joystick not long ago. I am
quite pleased with the operation, BTW. It had all of the
functionality I wanted... up to now. I can send all sorts of
keyboard-type events with the buttons of the joystick, but
not the joystick itself. I just purchased Pipe Dream. Its
a real good time waster! Anyway, the two player selection
requires input from the mouse, and the keyboard. Well, to
make a long story short, the keybaord is a HORRIBLE input
device for this game, and it puts this player at a major
disadvantage. So, what I want the joystick to do is send keyboard
events from the action of the joystick. This should be quite
possible by programming the uP box which comes with it. Anyone ever
done this? Anyone know how to do this? Is anyone from
Advanced Gravis Corp out there listening? Any help would be
greatly appreciated.
