Short: Allows CD32 pad to act as a mouse!
Author: Gareth Murfin (gazy@globalnet.co.uk)
Uploader: Gareth Murfin (gazy@globalnet.co.uk)
Type: Util/Boot
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
(gazy@globalnet.co.uk) Also look out on AmiNet for my other creations
which are :-
Dwarfx24.lha - The Ultimate AmIRC enhancement package
Theme040.lha - An 040 patch for ThemePark
ZombieFest.lha - A small Zombie Music and Gfx demo
Dwarfdemo.lha - A small Music and Gfx demo with nice scrolling text
Other Cool Utilities Ive made in Blitz Include :-
AmiClock10a.lha - A nice Blitz Clock with date
AmiGreet10a.lha - Greets you on BootUp
AmiBlank10a.lha - Funky ScreenSaver!
AmiTip10a.lha - Gives you a Tip every day of the year!
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...
