USB GamePads and Joysticks
« on: November 21, 2003, 04:10:02 AM »
Hi Guys,

Has anyone been able to use USB gamepads and joysticks on their amiga? does the amiga recognise these as controllers or does there need to be some software emulation? I dont know how the amiga would be able to recognise these if a game is booted up rather than the OS first, cos even windows needs to have the gamepad set up in its control panel.

No more broken joysticks or sega joypads. some nice gamepads with lots of buttons and feedback vibrations on the amiga would be cool.

i hate to say it but the amiga needs to conform as much to everyone elses standards as quick as possible. i really want to be like marge simpson and say, "be yourself honey" but even she knew when to stick on a big plastic smile just to be popular.

AmigaOne and Pegasos supporting AGP, PCI and USB 2.0 is groovey, means we get to use all the high power hardware being developed by the rest of the world. all we need now are the drivers :-)

hmmm anyway to use old amiga joysticks on an amigaOne? :-D

Hi Guys,

Platon42, good luck mate. its great that someone has taken on such a project.

Graf; cheers mate, its great to know that OS4 has this taken care of. How is it coming along? can it work with feedback joystick/gamepads and can we use the stearing wheel & footpads controllers too? :-)
