> It may not may not be possible to replicate basic input from that pad... if it's pressure sensitive, probably very difficult. If it's just an 8-way pad or even a 16-way pad, you can likely capture the basic directions, but it's not going to be as usable as the original.
I just checked my config and it looks like I'm only using up, down, left and right for the pad. I also have the IR codes for the whole remote as I had to configure that myself. I should be in good shape then, right?
