Another idea JSJ.. :) 16 buttons with gameport..

[Nielsathome]

Hey JSJ,

Good to see the program getting better and better..

I just had an idea.. the old gameport only has 4 buttons right.. but the amount of combinations is err 15? see below..

x = pressed
0 = not pressed
buttons:
1234
x000
0x00
00x0
000x

xx00
0xx0
00xx
x00x
x0x0
0x0x

xxx0
0xxx
x0xx
xx0x

xxxx

so if you can make GPL or even better Windows itself able to see more than 4 buttons by using button combinations............................ then homemade wheels can come with loads of buttons and a H shifter too

The 'do it yourself' joystick / wheel maker can easily make these 'button combinations' just using ONE button.

I get some weird ideas at 5:30 am but perhaps its possible?

Regards,
NIels
