I'm wondering if there's some sort of keyboard emulation app for game controllers. Basically what I want to do is be able to use a USB game pad and have button presses on the pad make key strokes in Windows, so like pressing up on the pad is like pressing the up arrow on a keyboard. Is there an app that can do this, or do I have to hack the controller wire and use an I-Pac?
I know apps like this exist on Linux and Mac, but I'd like something for Windows. Did a board search and didn't come up with much. Any help would be appreciated!
