Tools

FFFSake, force feedback engine for vJoy

FFFSake, or For Force Feedback’s Sake, is:

• Technically, a library that can bridge force feedback commands received by vJoy (virtual joystick) to a DirectInput compatible (physical) device.
• Practically, a plugin to get force feedback effects on your wheel/joystick while your game is actually being played with vJoy, which is in turn being fed with inputs by an application like Joystick Gremlin.

IndirectInput, compatibility fixes for DirectInput games and devices

IndirectInput, when added, will be a DLL-replacement based video game compatibility fixer, focused on fixing issues seen when playing flight and racing games with DirectInput devices.
