  • I want to build my own arcade controls!
I know about Cabvol (see link below) but I haven't read through every thread to see if someone got it to work with Windows 7.

Can this app be controlled with a Joystick?

Anyone ever get this to work with Windows 7? I haven't tried yet.

Anyone use any software that can control volume with a joystick and a hot key with an I-pac?

I thought the iPac has a built in shift key to control volume? I vaguely remember seeing that in the configs.
If not I just use AutoHotKey for the rest of my computers. This is the script I'm using to control my volume with Windows Key+PGup or Win+PGdown:

Code: [Select]
#PgUp::Send {Volume_Up 2}
#PgDn::Send {Volume_Down 2}

You can use any key combinations.

Yeah, I just use the shift function of the iPac to control volume and other functions.

I have an app that does volume in Windows7 and I have two buttons on my Control Panel that vol+ and vol- (not joystick)
If you are still looking for a volume solution, let me know and I will look to see what I use (Built this thing like 10 years ago...)
Don't remember what software it is offhand.
