    Question Need help with special USB device

    Hi everyone,

    I have a USB device which I'm using to connect my PC to an arcade machine. The idea behind all this is so I can press a button on the machine and then the PC will pick up that button press as a keyboard button or a joystick button being pressed.

    The game I'm using can only map controls using either a keyboard (USB or PS/2) or Joystick (USB only).

    The board itself once connected to the PC shows up on my device list as a "USB composite device" but what I actually want is for that device to be listed as either a keyboard or a Joystick so that the game is able to map the buttons.

    Would I need some sort of special driver for this or is there another way around this problem? Any help would be appreciated

    Thanks

    an arcade machine? I would think you'd need some special drivers to do this! maybe you can contact the makes of the arcade machine?

    I've seen something like you're talking about (the name escapes me at the moment), and I'm pretty sure the keyboard mapping to the keys required some software.
