Perhaps the fans of the games don't have the knowledge or skill to write such patches and the people who do have the knowledge and skill aren't interested enough in the games to do it. I don't know exactly what's involved, but I imagine that patching a game from reading an analog stick to using a mouse probably involves more than changing some parameters.

I'm not trying to be hostile, so please don't take this as me trying to bait you. Many people, myself included, would love to be able to make such patches, but we just don't have the talent to do it. You can say that we should just learn, but learning programming doesn't come that easily to everyone. I learned BASIC and assembly on the C64, which is a far simpler system, but I was never very good at either. My BASIC programs were slow and inefficient, and I could only write short routines in assembly before being overwhelmed. I've tried to disassemble small Flash games to unlock them so that they will play from a local file and have failed miserably at that. I struggle to write Windows batch scripts that use variables because there's always something I'm unaware of that trips me up.

I know some people just assume that they can't do something so they're afraid to try. I've tried and the results weren't all that encouraging. It's not a lack of desire on my part, I want to be able to write my own programs and patches. I'm just not very good at it.
