Subject: USB Overdrive 1.3J - Japanese version of USB driver
A POWERFUL UNIVERSAL DRIVER FOR ALL USB MICE AND JOYSTICKS
The USB Overdrive is a universal USB driver that handles all USB
mice, trackballs, joysticks and gamepads from any manufacturer
and lets you configure them either globally or on an
application-specific basis. It reads all kinds of wheels,
buttons, switches and controls and supports scrolling, keyboard
emulation, launching and complex macros as well as all the usual
stuff like clicking, control-clicking and so forth. The USB
Overdrive can easily handle several USB devices at once- I have
two mice, one trackball, two joysticks and one gamepad connected
to the same iMac, and each of them comes from a different
manufacturer.
Because each control in each device can be fully configured, the
USB Overdrive lets you use any joystick or gamepad with any
game, including the ones that don't support Apple's
InputSprockets. You can map your joystick movements and buttons
to the keyboard and mouse to make the game believe you're
playing on the keyboard, and you can do this mapping separately
for each game so that it's immediately available as soon as the
game is launched.
For games that already use InputSprockets, the USB Overdrive
quietly gives control to the device-specific configuration
panels provided by the manufacturer, or to the generic ones
provided by Apple with Mac OS 9 or the latest Game Sprockets.
The mouse settings allow you to speed up your daily tasks by
assigning useful actions to all the extra buttons and wheels in
your USB mouse. You'll typically want to assign a control-click
to the right button for easy contextual menu acces, and enable
document scrolling if your mouse has a scrolling wheel.
The Control Panel includes an active help feature that explains
each command and option as you move the cursor around.
