How to emulate joystick input to the computer?

Hi All
I have a gaming environment on the computer that reads inputs from a joystick when I plug the joystick into the computer. I would like to use MATLAB to emulate having a joystick plugged into the computer, and pressing certain joystick buttons. I would like a solution that is only on the MATLAB side (i.e. I do not want to provide different inputs to the gaming environment - I would like to write a MATLAB command that acts like the joystick). I know it probably involves writing to specific ports - but I do not know where to start.
Thanks for the help!

Hi,
It is my understanding that you are looking for a place to start understanding the joystick control as input for MATLAB. For the initial part as a more gaming controller-based input you can go through the following video link.
To have a better understanding on the joystick block you can also go through the following documentation links:

Hi ,is joystick input support only available with simulink? Do we need to do polling if we have to use it outside simulink or is there any better way?
