The last 2 .gsp files i created work and load the games but the joypad does not work. I think i need a keyboard joypad for the first game and a mouse joystick for the 2nd. The first needing to emulate the keypad presses 8,3,4,6 and 5. And Left Alt to fire. The second needing to emulate a mouse with the joypad. Currently i need a keyboard to play the first game and a mouse to play the second and I'd like to use the joypad for both. :)
