- JoyMouse v1.2
- -------------
-
- JoyMouse is a tiny hack which allows a CD³² pad in the 2nd joystick port to
- act as a mouse. I created this because I often play 2 player games which
- means that I have to take my mouse out of port 1, then I have to put it
- back in simply to move around the Workbench screen. This is obviously a
- pain so I decided that if a joypad could act as a mouse then my problems
- would be solved!
- I did some research and found an old program called 'FakeMouse', I have
- based JoyMouse on parts of FakeMouse but hopefully it is better because
- it has these new features :-
-
- o Accelerates the pointer when using a CD³² pad
- o Pointer can be controlled with the mouse and pad simultaneously!
- o Very small and fast code
- o Easy installation (Simply drag into WBstartup dir!)
- o Coded in 100% BlitzBasic
- o Designed to run in the background all the time
- o 030/040/060 Enhanced (as far as a utility like this can be!)
- o This doc is bigger than the program!
-
-
- Ok, drag the JoyMouse icon into the SYS:WBstartup drawer and then reboot,
- from then on you will be able to control your mouse pointer with a joypad
- plugged into the game port and your ordinary mouse too, you can even have
- fun trying to move the pointer with both simultaneously :)
-
- Right then, install this and then let me know what you think via email

- At the moment I have coded in BlitzBasic, Arexx, Dos and Reality, I hope to learn
- C++ in the future but right now Im working on a game in BlitzBasic, let me know if
- you want to help or you just want details...
