will work for any game that uses joystick input. :) |

OK, I set it up and it works great for NHL 2k2! I can't seem to get it to work with Virtua Tennis, though. When I launch the virtua tennis configuration utility, I think it only sees my keyboard. It only lets me pick 1 player and the arrows under the picture of the keyboard don't seem to do anything. Did you have to do anything special to make this work with virtua tennis? One thing to note - I downloaded all the files from the key2joy web site. The version was newer than what you guys have posted here in the forum (dated 10/7 I think). Does anyone have this working in virtua tennis with the latest version? One more thing - I'm running Win XP if that matters. |

OH YEAH! I can't beleive I didn't tell anyone this....I must have.. I DID! it was in a Quote from Deon here it is: --- Quote ---It looks like Virtua Tennis ignores any joystick with more than 4 (I think) axes - what this can't be no friggin' joystick! The PPJoy virtual joysticks by default has 8 axes... See the problem? [Virtua Tennis also ignores joysticks with less than 4(?) buttons it seems]. Very temperamental little piece of software! PPJoy makes provision for changing the number of axes a joystick reports - but I haven't yet figured out all the snags. Mainly it makes the Game Controllers control panel applet DrWatson :-( but everything else seems fine. I attach a special version of PPortJoy.cpl that has this extra functionality enabled. Copy it over the existing one in the System32 directory. Then: - Open the PPJoy control panel applet. Select one of the Virtual joysticks. - Click on Mapping - Select "Modify the interface mapping for the IOCTL..." (bottom) option and click on Next. - Click on Next (Create or Modify the mapping) - Change the number of Axes to 4 (from the drop-down) and click Next - Click Next (leave the number of buttons unchanged) - Click Next (leave Axes mapping unchanged) - Click Next (leave Button mapping unchanged) - Click on Finish --- End quote --- I have no idea why someone would have their setup program look at how many axes a joystick has and ignore certain ones...but your MAME controller won't have more than 4 so you shouldn't need to re-configure it every time you go back and forth between NHL and VT. hope that helps let us know. I bet it will though. Allroy |

I tried doing this, but the options on that screen are grayed out. It won't let me change the number of axes. I must be having an idiot attack again. Any idea on why the screen is grayed out and won't let me make changes? Update: I tried to get the modified cpl file you linked to on page 1, but the linkappears to be dead? |

Sorry about that. I fixed the link it should point to http://allroy.bigdrillcar.com/mame/zips/PPortJoyfix.zip Okay...so...now let us know. :) Allroy |
