Torchmate/Flashcut jogging with NES controller - success!

Post by gamble »

Not sure what took me 3 years to get a remote controller or pendant but I set it up last night and just did some tests. Going to use it more this week and I'm thinking it should make things a lot easier for me.

The nes usb controller was $8 off eBay and the software was joytokey which was free.

Setup took 5 min. Open the software and connect your controller. Hit the button on the controller to see which button it's connected to. Hit edit then in the box to the left click it and then press the keyboard short cut you want. Save it and go to the next button. I'm going to get a wireless controller next and probably one for more buttons if i can figure a few other short cuts out.

Now that's cool in kind of a retro kind of way. LOL Great job and thanks for sharing.
