Title: How to play Planet M.U.L.E. with USB joystick (emulating keyboard)

Hi!

I own an USB-Competition-Pro. Unfortunatly right now you can only play Planet M.U.L.E. by using the keyboard. BUT:

With the following software you can map each state of the USB joystick with a key. With that you can already play Planet M.U.L.E. with your joystick:

JoystickCursorTool is a small utility simulating keyboard keys using a joystick. It can be used for keyboardless navigation in browsers and file managers, playing games without native joystick support, using the joystick port for electronic interfaces without needing to write a joystick driver as well as other situations where only a small subset of the keyboard is typically used.

Works very well thank you.

At last, somebody came up with a workaround. Thank you!! I really dislike playing M.U.L.E. with the keyboard.

The old thread about this topic has been closed but the feature still isn't implemented.

I used the joystick program years ago. I'm now on a newer computer (windows 10) and want to come back to the game but the program doesn't work anymore. Can anyone tell me if there is a different program to run so I can sync my usb joystick to the game?

There is one called Joy2Key (Google it)  Still works in 10 as far as I know.  I haven't used it since my last Windows 10 build update, but it worked with Build 1703.
