#85 Gamepad/Joystick/DirectInput Input

[Kai Wörner]

Mapping DirectInput directions to Winamp commands would
be a nice feature, since i.e. USB-Gamepads are a cheap
solution for adding controls to a HTPC or the likes.
Maybe there's software to map gamepad-commands to
keyboard-commands, but I can't find anything like it.

I still think this would be a good Idea, but I have also
found Software that maps Joystick to Keyboard commands:

I think http://girder.nl has this function too. (The ability
to map gamepad buttons to keyboard)

The problem is that winamp has to be in focus for this to
work, the best would be if you can sen commands to the
plugin as you can do with several programs. What I mean i
something like this:
gen_lcddisplay.dll -menu #goes to menu mode
gen_lcddisplay.dll -up #goes down
Then winamp doesnt need to be focused.

Yes, that would be better indeed, but I rely on Winamp to be
focused anyway, so that wouldn't be necessary for me.

I found out that with the new feature winamp keyboard my
problem no longer exist
