Joystick Support

[John.Lamar]

USB Joysticks and Gamepads basically...

I don't yet have a wireless keyboard or a remote control (with some remotes around the same price as capture cards, I won't be getting one for a while) but I do have this:

The Gravis Gamepad Pro (USB)

I sure would love to be able to navigate GB-PVR with it and even use it for playback. Imagine, one button acts as CTRL (CTRL+Right=Fast Forward!), the others as stop, pause and whatever...

I guess I can try to map the joystick keys to keyboard keys or something similar... but that project looks like I'll have to buy a million little shareware programs to get it working.

Any, more clear, options? Has someone already done this? I've searched the forums but nothing specific about joysticks.

duh, i should have searched for "Gamepad" not "Joystick"

Let's see if it works...

I did some searching and found a "driver" that would turn a joystick (or other gaming device) into a mouse control. Worked well enough on a system I set up for games using TV out for the kids. No keyboard or mouse was installed on the system.

I have looked at the web site and it has a software download which seems to do what you want ....... Xperience 4.5 (Xp4.5_FTP.exe)
