Ok this is gonna sound nerdy as all hell but if I want to modify a video game controller for pc to have the mini usb plug to plug it into my mogul then be able to use it for emulators and such. Anyone know of any software for WM5/6 that can read the USB port and emulate controller presses into button presses that the emulators /games can recognise (aka when you press a button on the controller it tricks the game into thinking you pressed a programmed button on the device)

This will probably never happen. The hardware for USB host capability is simply not in the device.

:( sucks, didnt realize it needed something special to read the usb port.
