Dual TurboTwists as Joystick X&Y?
« on: April 12, 2011, 08:06:41 am »
I'm sure you guys have figured this out already but, how do you setup dual TurboTwists to show up as joysticks?
I am trying to setup various M2 driving games to use one (or both for 2-player games) of the TT as the analog input, I have tried all the RawDevP1 up to 5, and nothing.  I setup PPJoy, and it does work to let me use the mouse as an analog input, but it has to be ran everytime before M2, and seems like a convoluted way to go. 
Is there a simple joystick driver that can be loaded for the TT so that it is detected as a 2 axis gamepad/joystick?

That's funny, as soon as I hooked them up, I opened up paint.exe, taped down the left click on my mouse and used it as just that.  An Etch-a-sketch.  ;D

Any idea about the spinners as joysticks, or how do you guys interface your M2 driving games with your steering wheels?

I have used PPJoy and it works, but I was trying to get away without having another TSR running in the background.  I am buying a U-Hid Nano for my pot-controlled analog joystick, I read somewhere here that it can run an analog joystick and a trackball, if so could I just run the output from the TurboTwists to the trackball inputs?  Do inputs on the U-Hid get assigned to "Joystick # x&y"? 
If the U-Hid works like that, it will solve my M2 mapping issue as well as free me from having to use a 7th USB device on the cabinet.
