Apolyton! How can I use my mouse as a joystick? - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

I did some brief searching, and the reverse seems more common. If you continue to have no yield, I'll look some more later.

I seem to recall playing Tie Fighter with mouse, so I wonder if there needs to be support ingame...

You don't own any game consoles, do you? There are very cheap adapters out there, PSX-to-USB etc.

You can get a joystick for $20, maybe $10. Cheapskate.

IIRC the Wing Commander series supports Mice independantly of Joysticks, so you shouldn't need any conversion program... in fact most games will accept either.

So it works, but so badly, that you end up catfood?

Wing commander can not be played with a mouse, at least wing commander 1 through 3, can not. The default mouse control scheme makes it impossible to control.

Have you tried ppjoy?
I did a google search for "Joystick Emulator" and that seemed most promising since Mouse->Joystick is supported. No idea if it works well though.
