I'm trying to get AutoHotkey to function where when I press a key on my keyboard it sends a "joypad stroke".

This was simple enough(Joy to Keyboard):
Code:
Joy3::Send {a}


However, the reverse doesn't seem to function(Keyboard to Joy):
Code:
a::Send {Joy3}



Some help?

The Manual wrote:
Although a joystick button or axis can be remapped to become a key or mouse button, it cannot be remapped to some other joystick button or axis. That would be possible only with the help of a joystick emulator such as PPJoy.

Okay, downloaded it.
Now, how does this correspond to AutoHotkey?

How would I set something like this up?

PPJoy is a generic joystick driver, which can read and remap joystick signals, so very useful, but to invoke a signal to the joystick is something different and I found nothing in PPJoy's documentation pointing to that possibility.

PPJoy manual -> Remapping buttons and axes wrote:
If you choose a Set (Create) or Modify option and click on Next you will see the screen below.

This screen will show you the number of buttons, axes and hats that PPJoy will report to Windows for this device. It will also show you the HID types reported for the axes.


Which reminds me of DLLCall: Support for Human Interface devices. But Micha's dll can too only read, not invoke...

So, either way, you are left with remapping input I guess.
