hmmmm
back when I was switching between games that would need my joystick and some that didn't, but made it act strange, I moved where I plugged it into from the back of my pc (so I could have my two front ports open) to the front (where I can yank the thing out if need be)
thankfully since it's a USB joystick, you CAN plug it into any slot and it will be found almost immediately
What game is this mod for? I'm actually kind of curious about this, I might need it.
