Hi everyone, first of all hello from me, I've been a lurker here for some time and this forum is very useful to me, one of my hobbies is getting older PC games running again and then documenting the process on my site for others. I'd just finished getting the old game Hellbender running on my rig (Windows 7 x64), and I got everything working OK except for Joysticks.
Now, I believe the game supports the old-style DB-15 controllers, it won't recognise a USB controller at all. I know there's the excellent Xpadder utility and that works in a lot of cases, but of course it only emulates a keyboard and doesn't do analogue. What I wondered is, was there ever an emulator or wrapper written that would enable a USB controller to work as a DB-15 style old-school controller under windows, thus restoring analogue control capability to games like Hellbender and others? I did Google around but I wasn't entirely sure what to search for.
So basically if anyone could tell me if such a thing exists I'd be grateful, thanks.
