i recently had good luck with integrating this fella:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/javajoystick/
(at least i think it was this one, the site is down as i post this) into a java program.
it was the simplest of any of the joystick libraries i found, and only requires a couple lines of code to integrate with your app.
you oughta be able to just drop joystick.jar and the dll (if you're on windows) into the 'code' folder of your sketch, and start mucking about with their simple example.
this is something that would be useful to include as an example in the future, i'm guessing. maybe i can write something simple for it.

Since we're on the topic of gaming devices now, I wondered whether it would be possible to run P5 or Java on my Gameboy Advance. I know they are using c/c++ for this at the moment, but since it compiles to a rom file, it should be possible to get Java to compile to that specific format, I guess. Does anyone know more about this topic?

Fry,
I'm new to Processing & java, although I did get a nifty app together. Now I'm trying to add joystick functionality, and am trying to work with the java joystick package you flagged above. But I can't get it to compile. Here's what I am doing:
com.centralnexus.input.Joystick j;
om.centralnexus.input.JoystickListener jl;
void setup(){
//init joystick
j = new com.centralnexus.input.Joystick.createInstance();
}
I keep on getting a message that it can't find createInstance()
What am I doing wrong?

Hey Koenie I wanna do that too! I found this thing that might help

It looks like a cart that you can download Java games to. But the apps have to be in the kind of format you would use on a cel phone, and I don't think processing can export those by itself. You'd probably have to know hardcore java cel-phone dev tricks.
Still it'd be cool
