PPJoyMouse virtual joystick

PPJoyMouse is an application to convert mouse movement into Windows joystick input via the PPJoy Virtual Joystick interface. Below is a screenshot of PPJoyMouse:

Selecting a Virtual Joystick

The drop-down list next to Joystick device selects the virtual joystick to use. The list contains all possible virtual joystick names; it does not detect which virtual joysticks are actually configured in PPJoy. You need to configure at least one virtual joystick in PPJoy. (See Adding a new joystick or gamepad.)

The text to the right of the drop-down list displays the status of the selected virtual joystick.

Configuring movement sensitivity

You can configure how sensitive the virtual joystick is by changing the values for X Gain (left-right), Z Gain (up-down) and Y Gain (mouse wheel). The larger the value the more sensitive will the virtual joystick be.

Once the minimum (or maximum) value for an axis is reached further mouse movement in that direction will be ignored.

Loading and saving the configuration

PPJoyMouse allows you to load and save the configuration to .INI files. You can also load an .ini file on startup by specifying it on the command-line when starting PPJoyMouse. For example PPJoyMouse.exe C:\Config\PPJoyMouse.ini will automatically attempt to load C:\Config\PPJoyMouse.ini on startup. If the config file is in the current directory you need to add ".\" in front of it. For example PPJoyMouse.ini becomes .\PPJoyMouse.ini.
