It should be noted that the original intent of PPJoy was to provide a driver for old parallel port sticks (hence the PP part of the name)...it just had joystick emulation w/ keyboard/mouse as an added feature. Parallel port sticks became obsolete w/...  [Read More]

The database crash ate the post about trying out my flash memory camcorder, but, to sum up, the video I got of my bowling exposed an old flaw in my game (and I wouldn't be posting the video). I worked on said flaw in practice today, and had a 245 gam...  [Read More]
