Joystick support...

...is it still planned for ResidualVM?

I looked through the forums and found it was a dead end discussion in 2009.
I mean - The original Grim Fandango HAS Joystick support (even with rumble). Me thinks many users still want it.

Could someone sum things up if it's planned to be implemented in the near future, or not?

Thanks.

Noone is planning to do that, as far as i know. The problem here is that to work on that you must have a joystick, which I, for instance, don't have

Haha, am i hearing you shout "Donate me one!" at my face? No?

But thanks for the info, anyway.

...(now go out, support your local flea market and buy one hell of a j-stick, hear me?)

Maybe you should consider a donation? After all, you are getting this software for free.

Okay, i'll make a donation as soon as the folks behind ResidualVM add some PayPal-buttons to the main page, just like the ScummVM folks did.

I don't see how a donation of a $8 Joystick would get us all the joystick support, we would like to have...

If you make PayPal-Buttons i'll consider a donation, honestly.

@Longcat, How exactly does one donate to ResidualVM?

I don't think donations are taken yet, because of the state of ResidualVM.
I remember reading a post from aquadran, but can't find it right now

Ah, so that's why my controller wasn't working. Adding pad support would be very appreciated since Joy2Key is introducing some strange behavior when it comes to running.
