I have been waiting aeons for this.

Finally compatible with Panther, allows you to map game pad or other devices to any buttons/keys that you desire.

Awesome! I wish I brought my gamepad home with me this weekend! Oh well, looks like I'll have to wait until tomorrow night to try this out. How did you like it?

Well I bought a copy, I liked it so much Makes up for lazy developers not using HIG business in their games (less of a problem now).

For example, I map my keys to the controls in Cro Mag Rally, press 'start', open the game and away I go. When I've finished I can press 'stop' and the keys are no longer mapped.

You can even map controls to be the axis's of the mouse - so you can control your computer through your gamepad.

The mouse emulation is pretty jerky when compared to USBOverdrive but at least GPC let me have the right-analog stick control the pointer.

Not too bad but still plenty of room for improvement.

I'm using it to assign the extra buttons on my MX900 bluetooth mouse.

Works great, so far, even if there's not as much flexibility as something like USBOverdrive.

I had been waiting for this for 2-3 months, since I got the dang mouse.

This program is very cool. But definatley needs some more work, using my Logitech gamepad as a mouse is pretty jerky. But I like how customizable it is. I hope this project continues forward strongly!
