[games_access] Vista problems with JoyToKey - can anyone help?

[Barrie Ellis]

Hi Amit,

Visat compatibility problems - predictable wasn't it? All I have so far as way of a possible solution (not tested it yet) is this:

1. Right Click on JoyToKey.exe
2. Click properities
3. Go to Compatibility Tab
4. Check "Run this program in compatibility mode"(Make sure it's XP SP2)
5. Check "Run this program as an administrator"

The author of JoyToKey is Ryo Ohkubo and you can find his e-mail within the README file of JoyToKey. He speaks a little English. It would be great to get a fix sorted out. Good luck!

Oh - and by the way - It's Barrie - not Berrie!

All the best,

Barrie

Hey Berrie, 
 
One of my students is having similar problems with Vista at home. I wasn't there myself but the OT told me it doesn't run on the child's machine. I'm not sure if it's a compatibility with the gamepad or the software. Who's the author of this great software? Perhaps I can get in touch with them and help recompile the source-code.
 
Cheers,
Amit

I have a person trying to get JoyToKey work with a standard PC USB joypad. They've just upgraded to Vista. I'm not sure if there is a compatibility problem here.
 
Does anyone out there have Vista running on their PC and a USB Joypad?
 
If so, do you have time to test out JoyToKey, please:

All I want to know is - can you get your joystick to act as the keyboard or mouse?
 
Here's a one-switch on-line game that just uses SPACE that would be a good test:
