I recently bought promodule, and i made my own compilation using AGS.
I have a question - it is possible to run joymouse with whdload games ? When i add a command line that should run joymouse, to the ags script, nothing happens. I also tried to run it by putting "ExecuteStartup" command to the whdload prefs, but it doesn't run :/. Even when I run joymouse on wb and then run the game, still i can't move the pointer by joypad. Thanks for any advice.
oh and sory for my poor eng ;)

Impossible afaik as whdload completely takes system over. Each slave would require a rewrite to make it possible to use joystick as mouse or have some kind of mechanism that detects the hardware banging pieces of code and swap them with own input routines which I don't see happening soon...
CFOU!

It's perhaps possible but that need a modification of kick13.s or/and kick31.s to add a test for the installed tools....
but the main problem is that coder must have the hardware & his tools for test....
after perhaps only rares game would can run but after a recompilation and perhaps some special patch can be needed if game don't use workbench for mouse...
but, I don't think it's priority of whdload's coder ;)

Jerry is right. WHDLoad takes over the system. You cannot start anything before WHDLoad to influence a game running inside WHDLoad.
For such adaptions (Keyboard <-> Joystick/Gamepad) each install need to be patched individually). This is a lot of effort and there are not much developers for WHDload installs, so less hope.
