Otherwise I would attempt it myself.

I concur, GREAT work on Myth!  While I have not tried it, joy2key maybe the 
solution to use your gamepad as a remote!  You can find it here:

Another option may be KBStick located here:

I've been thinking of getting a wirless gamepad myself.  Is this 
(http://www.pricegrabber.com/search_getprod.php/masterid=469375/search=wingm 
an/ut=401ecca614ea42f1) the one you have?
