Edit: I'm thinking about using V-USB... It'll take some digging around to figure out how to work it, but I think it'll do what I need fairly well.

I'm REALLY curious what it is that you are hooking up to. What is it that can't be wired directly to the Cypress I/O board?

Don't get me wrong... I'm not trying to discourage you from making a USB joystick emulator, cause that's a cool project, but I also want to make sure you are aware of all your options.

Cheers!
