[Tfug] Game Console Controller as a mouse

[Leo Przybylski]

Well, I still want to use a controller as a mouse, but it doesn't look 
like I'll be able to. Haven't found much support or help on it. None of 
the emulators are maintained anymore. Not opensource ones anyway. Best I 
can do is I found mapping software that will allow me to map controller 
functions to keyboard keys. Looks like I'm going to lose my analog 
benifits though. Bummer.
