Joystick Mouse Adapter: Emulate Mouse with Gamepad

Developed for the GPD XD Plus and tested on various Bluetooth and USB gamepads. This app turns the joystick on your gamepad or controller into a PC mouse. This is especially useful for those who connect their Android-based emulation machines (e.g. GPD XD+) to an external screen via HDMI output or screencasting.

The Joystick Mouse Adapter works similar to the way the joystick on the GPD Win series of devices work in mouse mode. All you need is a controller that is compatible on your Android device. This app works with both wired and wireless Bluetooth controllers. Just make sure the controller is an Xbox or Nintendo style controller with all of the standard buttons.
