    For cheap people with Windows 8 and no touch screen with jam and peanut butter on it.

    I just got really curious taking a minute to play a game, and decided to find out something I really do not need.

    First, where are the apps?

    I person might really want to know that, and man, that is scary.

    That is really what I wanted to know more about. The rest is just an excuse to go looking.

    So, I have an old Logitech dual action g-uf13a gamepad thingy which is for the most part a paperweight which I have not used in like many years since the kiddie wanted to play Jedi Knight II.

    You have to create a wingman profile and select the exe, but PewPew is a js javascript file, you go to the folder with the Logitech profiler and it does not see the js file so click all files and select the PewPew js file; it is really hard to find the PewPew folder because they are trying to make you blind.

    Set the joystick of choice to the mouse axis. Then set a button like 2 to left mouse.
    Start PewPew. The joystick will move the mouse, and when over the virtual touch screen joystick hold down the 2 button.

    Now if you got Windows 8 without a touch screen and want to kill a few minutes with PewPew and have a joystick or something, maybe it can work.
