Drivers

 

Here are the basic drivers for use with JUMP. I did not write these drivers so I cannot support them. But for a quick guide for using them with JUMP, refer to my JUMP drivers guide
bulletDirectPad Pro - If you run Windows 95/98/ME then I recommend this driver. It treats your controller as a DirectInput device so you configure it just like any other joystick. Requires DirectX.

bulletNTPad - The long-awaited drivers to set up the JUMP controllers on Windows 2000 or XP. I've never used them personally but several people have told me they work like a charm.
 
bulletPSXPad go to http://www.psxpad.com  to download these drivers. They work with Windows XP and 2000 and many people who have reported problems with NTPad have had success with PSXPad.

Windows 2000/XP(173 Kb) - ntpadxp2.01.exe
bulletJUMPSwap - This is a little program I wrote to make it effortless to switch from using one type of DirectPad controller to another in Windows. It's pretty simple and instructions are included in the documentation.

bulletSNESKey - SNESKey lets you map different keystrokes to each of the buttons on the controller which allows you to use a game controller on virtually any game which uses the keyboard as a controller. (Note: the windows version requires mfc42.dll and msvcrt40.dll. If you do not have these on your system you will need to download them as well.)
(Also Note: I have had trouble getting NES controllers to work with the DOS version of SNESKey. This has nothing to do with the JUMP interface because the interface does not change the basic design of the adapter circuitry that SNESKey claims will work. The drivers claim they have support for NES controllers but be aware that the DOS version may not support your NES controllers. I have made the Windows SNESKey NES drivers work properly.)

Some software builds support for the SNESKey/DirectPad/JUMP type controller directly into the program itself. For instance, the DOS version of MAME has support for SNES controllers built directly into the emulator so no additional drivers are necessary.  

All instructions on how to install and use the drivers are included in the drivers themselves. Just set them up as though you were installing a Nintendo or Super Nintendo controller.
