So,

Assuming a game doesnt support a joystick, what do you guys use to get you CH Products joystick working?

Do you use a joystick to keyboard emulator? Or am i just being a noob?

No need for any other software apart from Control Manager 3. You can assign buttons to the analogue axis so that even if a game such as Ubisoft's 'Far Cry' does'nt support joystick input you could use a script like this:

SCRIPT
CMS.B1 = [JS2.A1 > 220];
CMS.B2 = [JS2.A1 < 30];
CMS.B3 = [JS2.A2 > 220];
CMS.B4 = [JS2.A2 < 30};
ENDSCRIPT

You then define CMS button 1,2,3 and 4 to a keypress so CMS.B1 could be the &#39;s&#39; key for straffe left, CMS.B2 could be the &#39;d&#39; key for straffe right and then CMS.B3 and B4 could be the keys you use to move forward and back. Not ideal but I think it&#39;s short sighted of games like &#39;Far Cry&#39; not to support joystick input especially when there are player controlled vehicles available.

I think if you do a 1-Step Up/Down on the X/Y axes with a NULL center character, you&#39;ll get that same basic effect without having to script anything. It&#39;s a little quicker.
