DATA FOR THE 'JOYWARRIOR' CHIPSET
Device Operation
By following the USB HID specifications
JoyWarrior chips are able to work with most
operating systems without the need to supply
special drivers. Any operating system with support
for USB HID game controllers will have the
necessary drivers already in place.
Operation with Windows
Any Windows versions 98 and newer and 2000
and newer will work with JoyWarrior. Older
versions of Windows do not support USB.
Upon connecting a JoyWarrior based device for the
first time you will be asked to perform the standard
driver install. The same happens if you connect the
device to a different USB port on the same
computer.
After the driver installation has completed you
should be able to see the device in the "Game
Controllers" control panel and be able to access it
via DirectInput.
Operation with MacOS
MacOS 9.0 and up and MacOS X do support
JoyWarrior direct. Some versions of MacOS 8.x do
support USB as well, though their use is not
recommended.
With MacOS 9.x you will be able to use
JoyWarrior based devices via InputSprocket or
with 3rd party software like USB Overdrive.
On MacOS X access is available via the
HIDManager.
There will be no warnings or dialogs when a
properly functioning JoyWarrior based device is
connected under MacOS, it will simply start to
work.

Remote Wakeup
All JoyWarrior chips support the remote wakeup
feature. They are able to wake the host computer
from sleep state if the host operating system does
enable this feature.
Remote wakeup is initiated by JoyWarrior if any
button is pressed or if any switch of the direction
pad closes. Changes on the analog axes are not
detected.
For remote wakeup to be functional on the
JoyWarrior20 chips the RC combination on the
CExt pin as specified in the application circuits is
required.
When remote wakeup is active and the USB is in
suspend state JoyWarrior20 will wake periodically
and check if any switches are closed, if not it will
immediately return to suspend mode.
Joystick axis orientation
USB specifies the axis orientation as follows:
For the X axis values should increase for left to
right movement, Y axis values increase for far to
near movements (i.e. pulling the stick gets you
larger values), Z axis values should increase for
high to low movement.
Non Joystick Applications
USB does allow a Human Interface Device
controller to very detailed specify the function of
axes and buttons. This gives a game controller
device the option to specify a certain axis to be a
throttle or break or something else.
The standard JoyWarrior chips are for general use,
so the analog axes variants just specify X, Y, Z and
the switch inputs are defined as being just buttons.
