Re: IO

Write to the 15 pin game port for the joystick? Even in the days of MS-DOS bit banging that was a pain. I'll Google around for MIDI interfaces to see whats out there. You may end up with a C/C++ wrapper for the MIDI port tweeks then making JNI calls for the joystick.

Can you use a serial stream that would come from a MIDI, or are you really looking for the bits to do IO that way?
