Mouse Emu?

[scranusesscrunya]

Now then! Just wondering if someone knew of a mouse emulator for XP. I'm looking for one thats similar to JoytoKey that will turn mouse actions into keystrokes (e.g moving the mouse up will be interpreted as enter) anyone know of one of these?

Thanks in advance

There is no program like MouseToKey that I found during extensive searching. I ended up writing my own in AutoHotKey that works fairly well. There is a thread from a few months ago that talks about it extensively, but I'll add the file for you if you don't want to find it.

Thanks i'll be sure to give it a go when i work out how to use autohotkeys!

My goal at the end of all this is to be able to use a trackball on emulators for example i want the trackball to be the analogue stick on Null DC Dreamcast emu if that makes sense! Will this script do that?

Sorry for the noob questions!

The script I wrote only takes the up/down/left/right directional inputs from the mouse and converts them to up/down for use in the menus in GameEx. It was written to support my dual steering wheel cabinet (using a mouse hack) that has no joysticks. The script could be modified to work with other emulators or in other ways for GameEx based on the way it has been written.

AHK is definitely a scripting language worth learning AT LEAST the basics of. The only other viable choice is AutoIt (I just happened to try AHK first). I know there are people on this board who are very good with both scripting languages, so either one would work and you might even be able to get suggestions here!
