    Want to do something to my mouse
    « on: August 25, 2009, 01:37:53 PM »
    I was wondering if I could use a different device other than my conventional mouse.  I have an N64 controller than plugs into a USB adapter that I use for games and I thought it would be cool to use it as my mouse, I have windows vista and an hp computer, its a new computer and it uses a USB for the mouse, so if anyone knows how or if i can do this please let me know

    try this. It uses a Rumblepad 2 but it should work with any controller.

      A:) you don't need to write your own driver and B: it wouldn't help anyways.
