hi sohaibma,

you may have a look for a "Playstation 2 - Adapter" for USB port. i've seen one in a shop for PS1! i didn't see one for ps2, but should exist..

for controlling winamp with joystick, use this one
http://www.winamp.com/plugins/details.php?id=134861
(or search for another plugin on www.winamp.com)

when plugged to the computer, anything can be controlled via Girder, which then can control winamp.

there is a joystick plugin for both analog and digital joysticks.

i searched the girder website but could not find the game port plugin
please post the link to the plugin

Is it possible to use a Analog Joypad as a mouse? To be more specific...is it possible to use the PlayStation 2 Analog Joypad as a mouse.

Youll need this to hook a PS2 controller to the USB port

look in this thread.
http://www.girder.nl/phpBB2/viewtopi...oystick+plugin
its near the end.

the plugin is currently under development, thus not being in the download section

I already have the adapter for the PlaySta2 (Playing emulated games) But that's just it...it only acts as a regular joypad and not a mouse....What I want is to have the joypad operate the Windows environment...Is this even possible?
