It's actually really easy to use a Power Glove on a PC!
This was just one of those silly ideas that sounded like it could be fun to try out when I realized I could do it. Is it a great experience? No, but is it fun to try out? Definitely! I'll probably be looking out for PC games now that could be more easily played with the Power Glove just for the novelty. It might be possible to make games like Dungeon Keeper 2 work with different mouse controls in GlovePIE so I may spend some more time on that as well.
At the moment I'm putting this video up I can't actually get to the GlovePIE script I made for the Power Glove to work as a mouse. I'll try to get it uploaded when I have a chance but it's something that shouldn't be too difficult to learn to make if you are determined. I did show all the code in the video at the very least.
This was the NES USB adapter I used: amzn.to/2MXzN4B
(It also worked fine for me on linux if you care about that)
