X-Wing Alliance Joystick Bypass?

Apparently you have to have a joystick installed to be able to play this game. Has anyone ever found a way to bypass this, or is there a possible patch or something I can download in order to get around it? I'd really like to play the game again but I don't have a joystick or gamepad. I know I used to have a gamepad that I used when I played but I never knew that it was a requirement... :gonk:

Didn't the update fix this problem? I might be way off.

It's unplayable without a joystick, you can't fly with the mouse or keyboard.

Yeah, I was gonna suggest a joypad emulator but Greenboy beat me to it. If the one he linked to doesn't work, I think there's a few of them on sourceforge that you might try out.

just go out and buy one, a cheap USB one shouldnt cost that much, and it will be much easier to play than if you use a joypad emulator.

I still don't understand why anyone would want to fly a flight/spacesim without a stick
