Alright, so I've been using it this way for some time now, and it's worked quite well.
Only problem is that there doesn't seem to be any native support for keyboard inputs to the controller buttons ( i.e., have the DPad emulate arrow key presses, bumpers emulate some random other keys, etc. )
Best software I've tried doesn't even recognize the existance of the D-Pad or triggers, and most don't recognize the right thumbstick.
I want to play on my DS emulator using it, but the thumbstick is just too slopy for emulating a D-pad. Any help?

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
