Ian Primus Posted February 7, 2002 Share Posted February 7, 2002 I remember using the wonderful DirectPad Pro software to use an Atari joystick on my PC through the parallel port. I can't use it anymore, seeming as though I upgraded from 9x to Windows XP, and DirectPad Pro doesn't work on it. I still have my interface, and I would have built more of them (DirectPad Pro let you hook darn near everything up to the PC, and allowed you to use it as a DirectX compatible joystick.) Does anyone out there in Atariland have the programming skills to rewrite this wonderful software to run on modern operating systems? Or perhaps write something else, a simple "wedge" program that would patch the input from the joystick through the parallel port and convert it to keypresses. I can provide people with the old DirectPad Pro software and schematics to the interface if anyone is interested (it's hard to find these days). Thanks!
