   Can Gamepad -> Emulate Keyboard??
  Hey,I was just getting ready to do some retro gaming the other day, so I popped in Tomb Raider 2 for the PC. Damn does that control setup suck major balls. There is no support at all (as far as I can tell) for controllers or even the mouse. It would be great if I could use a mouse to turn and keyboard keys for movement and actions (aka Doom), but that seems like it would be next to impossible.Instead, I was wondering if there was a way I could set up some sort of converter for a gamepad. I have a Game Pad Pro that is exactly like a PS controller which would work great. All I want to do is take buttons pressed on the pad and emulate keys on the keyboard. In other words, the program I would have to write would run in the background, and when I press a gamepad button, any other programs (the foreground program) would think I pressed keys.Is this possible?EDIT - Oh yeah, if there are already programs such as this available, that's even better. I did a search but I can't find anything.Thanks a lot for any help,Jiia[edited by - Jiia on February 3, 2004 1:18:49 PM]
  Hello!Yes, if you have a programmable gamepad then it should be possible.It has been done with the game Star Trek Bridge Commander.It didn''t had Gamepad/Joystick support, now there was someone who had a programmable gamepad and he programmed it to send keyboard events.

I don''t think it even came with software. It''s a USB pad, but has no extra settings.Thanks though. ;  Well, I guess I jumped the gun a little. As soon as I typed in www.gravis.com and clicked support, I see words such as "GamePad Pro" and "Emulate Keyboard".It''s pretty bad when you''re so big of a nerd, you would rather program something than look for it.I still wouldn''t mind knowing if my question is possible, if anyone knows.Thanks again,Jiia
