PPJoy

Windows LPT/Virtual Joystick driver, originally developed by Deon Van Der Westhuysen. Special thanks to Deon for developing these drivers and releasing the code as open source. See:
http://ppjoy.blogspot.com

This repository is a safe keeping of the PPJoy source code. It also includes some required fixes due to last minute changes in the source when originally released that broke compilation.

Compile Environment is:

Windows 7 SP1 x64
