Yes and no. Not on Haiku as we need Gamport "driver" working under Haiku.
I did test it under Zeta 1.5 but that made zeta crash.
One other possible solution have popped up in my head but will some what
brake R5 compability.
What if Joystick/GamePad (special USB ones) can be used for controlling
the mouse on the desktop and treated as a other input devices?
I think that this would be cool but need allot of thinking trough before
anything like this can be accomplish.
