PPJoy is a joystick device driver for Windows 2000 and later. There is also limited support for Windows 98 and Windows Me. PPJoy was designed for joysticks connected to the parallel port but it also supports other devices via the virtual joystick interface
Supported devices are:
Digital joysticks for the Commodore 64, Atari, ZX Spectrum and other computers of that era.
Playstation controllers.
NES, SNES and Virtual Gameboy controllers
Sega Genesis controllers
PPM and PIC interface Radio Control transmitters
Joystick emulation using the keyboard or mouse
Windows will treat these devices just like any other joystick and they can be used in any game or application that accepts joystick input.
Why PPJoy?
There are lots of USB joysticks out there that are a lot less hassle to install and configure. So here is why you may want to use PPJoy:
PPJoy is free for non-commercial use and you may already have a perfectly good controller supported by PPJoy. A small donation will however be appreciated.
Use the original controllers along with an emulator for a more authentic experience.
Use your all-time favourite controller with PC games.
Use PPJoy instead of a keyboard encoder in a game cabinet.
You want to emulate joystick input from another application.
On the other hand you still need to buy or build the proper adapter to connect your controller to your computer.
