I reckon what your trying to do Simon is not very standard..(!)
This may be going a bit off the topic.. but bear with me..
The closest I can think Simon to what *may* be useful is mapping the
joybutton using standard bits of software and then reading that
conversion (e.g a key stroke). To do more interesting things than
mapping joybuttons to other things I have in the past used OSC (Open
Sound Control) and/or GlovePIE on windows to map the Joy buttons to
something more meaningful i.e. port it out to a serial command). (NB:
I did my OSC stuff using OSCulator on the mac. OSC if your not aware
is awesome).. Dare say though that is not the answer you are looking
for.. (!)
