PC Games - Joystick Required. Anyway to make keyboard a "fake" game controller
DigitalFusion:
Hey all,
I have a PC game (star wars x-wing alliance) that requires a joystick installed in my MAME cab. The game wont even start without a joystick or game pad installed. Does anyone know of a way to get a driver or something that will make the keyboard function as a game controller in the windows control panel? Is there software out there that will do this?
ChicagoDave:
I believe this is what the ppjoykey program does.
DigitalFusion:
ahhh!! thank you! I have been googl'ing for hours now and all I found were programs to use a joystick as a keyboard!
DigitalFusion:
this game is retarded... does NOT work well on a MAME cab (for future potential searchers)
vidmouse:
Agreed... but if you're looking for a Star Wars game for your cab
there are a few that work reasonably well...
Rogue Squadron 3d
Racer
Starfighter
Check out this post for a few screenshots of starfighter
and some suggestions:

Also, for non-starwars pc games that work well I loaded
Spider-Man
Mechwarrior 3
Tomb Raider 2
Rune
Though these worked "ok" to varying degrees...
