I'm trying to get windows98 to see a set of pedals that are connected to
the Joy2 X and Y axes. I tried creating several different "custom"
controllers in control panel but they all seem to default to using the
Joy1 X and Y axes. The hardware tests fine using joytest and Windows
will detect them on Joy2 using the standard 2axis-2button joystick
driver but that conflicts with my other controller that uses Joy1 axes
and the 4 buttons. Some info at microsoft (see below) suggests it may
possible to remap the axes using DWORD JOY_HWS_* flags but I'm not sure
how to go about it (registry hack?):
Any hardware/registry gurus know how to get a windows 98 to see a custom
controller on the Joy2 axes with 0 buttons?

Hi Ken,
Is the Steering Wheel and Pedals connected to a standard gameport ie. on
your sound card or game card. (ie. 15pin connector), or are they separate
devices, plugged into either a gameport and/or serial/USB connection? If you
could give a bit more info like the type of wheel & pedals I may be able to
guide you in the right direction.
Regards,
Les.

on www.stickworks.com, under files, you'll find a package called joyregs.zip
which does do those things.

Haven't tried it yet but from the contents of the reg files it
should create the OEMName and OEMData registry entries for a Joy2 only
controller.
