Xpadder 2007-11a:

Using either the keyboard or the mouse to play videogames on your PC is not always the most comfortable option. Sometimes you'd love to use your gamepad but unfortunately not all games have support for them. Xpadder puts an end to this problem, allowing you to play PC games with poor or no gamepad support at all.

These are the features Xpadder has to offer:

* Full keyboard and mouse emulation
* No installation needed - run straight from the Zip file
* Add gamepad support to emulated, internet and DOS games
* Play multiplayer games with each player using their own gamepad
* Control video/music players using their shortcut keys
* Use a gamepad with a web browser or any windows application
* Rumble (force feedback) and advanced fine-tuning options
* Create and share any layout for any controller
* Multiple profile management using sharable files

Languages:

English
Recent changes in Xpadder:

* Improved INI data reading speed and error handling
* Added INI style profile files
* Fixed a bug where DPad Diagonal mode button selection didn't update bolding

OS requirements for Xpadder:

* OS: WinXP/Vista

PPJoy Version 0.83:

Changes:

PPM radio transmitters are now listed under their own device type (Radio control TX) in the Add Joysticks dialog box.

PPJoy is a joystick device driver for Windows 2000 and later. There is also limited support for Windows 98 and Windows Me. PPJoy was designed for joysticks connected to the parallel port but it also supports other devices via the virtual joystick interface

Supported devices are:

* Digital joysticks for the Commodore 64, Atari, ZX Spectrum and other computers of that era.
* Playstation controllers.
* NES, SNES and Virtual Gameboy controllers
* Sega Genesis controllers
* PPM and PIC interface Radio Control transmitters
* Joystick emulation using the keyboard or mouse

Windows will treat these devices just like any other joystick and they can be used in any game or application that accepts joystick input.

There are lots of USB joysticks out there that are a lot less hassle to install and configure. So here is why you may want to use PPJoy:

* PPJoy is free for non-commercial use and you may already have a perfectly good controller supported by PPJoy. A small donation will however be appreciated.
* Use the original controllers along with an emulator for a more authentic experience.
* Use your all-time favourite controller with PC games.
* Use PPJoy instead of a keyboard encoder in a game cabinet.
* You want to emulate joystick input from another application.

On the other hand you still need to buy or build the proper adapter to connect your controller to your computer.

Supported Operating Systems:

PPJoy was designed for Windows 2000, Windows XP and later but will also work on Windows 98 and Me with a few restrictions. It is recommended that you install at least DirectX 9.

Windows 98 and Me restrictions:

* PPJoy cannot claim exclusive access to the parallel port and may interfere with other applications (like printing) that use the same port. The PPJoy driver needs to be disabled (In Device Manager) when you need to use a port for something else.
* The PPJoy setup cannot automatically install the required device drivers. They have to be manually installed after the setup application exits.
* PPJoy may lack some features under Windows 98/Me; or some things may not work as smoothly.
* Note: PPJoy is not as well tested as under Windows 98 or Me as under Windows 2000/XP.

There is (always) a small risk that PPJoy may crash or bluescreen your computer. Use it at your own risk.

Windows NT 4 or Windows 95 is not supported.
