I had a thought that I'd share with you all and see what you all think. I was thinking what could i use to control my in-car pc with. It came upon me. A playstation controller.. i have a 2 port psx to usb converter and 2 psx joypads. so i decided to download joymouse and use that to control my pc. I am going to test it out tonight but has anybody else managed to use this control method on a car pc? It would also be handy if you wanna run mame or something like that in the car for the times you get bored you can play some 2 player games.

There are a lot of people that use game console controllers for their emulators. Don't know about using it to control their whole PC.

Anybody seen Megas XLR on Cartoon Network? This post reminds me of that.

Nah I have it alls setup and working. I found a freeware version of a Joymouse which basicly emulates a mouse's movements on a joypad. It's a litttle bit more tricky but once you get the hang of it it's pretty good actually. It's much easier with a frontend though but still able to navigate around a Windows XP desktop and explorer.
