VJoy was initially designed to provide an open-source replacement for PPJoy, a joystick emulator. VJoy, at this point, consists of virtual joystick devices that are seen by the system as a standard joystick but its position-data is written to it by a feeder application. 
An existing feeder application that takes advantage of this product is SmartPropoPlus. If you are an application writer, you can very quickly write an application that controls a joystick (e.g., mouse-to-joystick, keyboard-to-joystick). If you are a beginner in device drivers, you can take this code and enhance it to support more (or less) axes, buttons or POVs.
Windows 2000/XP Device Driver for joysticks and gamepads connected to the Parallel Port. Also includes keyboard-to-joystick emulation. PPJoy is a device driver for Windows 2000 and XP (with some support for Windows 98 and Me) that allows you to connect old digital joysticks and gamepads to the parallel port.
VJoy Features: • Virtual Device and device driver 32/64 bit • Driver is signed • Configurable: Up to 8 axes, up to 128 buttons, and optional 4 POV Hat Switch • Package include: Unified x86+x64 installer • Downloadable: Full sources, SDK (C/C++ C#), Demo feeder applications, documentation • Typical audience: Application writers that want to emulate joystick behavior.
