I run XP pro sp2, can I use this as well? Or is it only working in MCE?

Great work!

I believe this is only for Media Center since it doesn't support joystick/gamepad navigation controls unlike GameEX. So there should be no reason why you would need this for a non-MCE OS.

Tom, glad to see more support for MCE. I can only hope for an all native MCEGameEX / MCEMame in the future.

You know what would be really sweet is something like this program: Pinnacle Game Profiler. http://www.pinnaclegameprofiler.com/

It's a program that emulates a mouse in games that you want to use a gamepad in. I use GameEx to get to my PC games and I have an Xbox 360 controller that I like to use to play the games, but hardly any of the games support using a gamepad. For now I am using the Pinnacle Game Profiler software, but it's not freeware, and I bet Tom could make a better program anyway! Lets see what you've got!
