Hi there. I'm extremely sleep deprived at the mo, so forgive any lack of intelligence shown, but does anybody know if/how I can use more than one controller in a DBC program?
I have a splitscreen game on the go and want to have both players using the Xbox 360 USB joypads.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Its been a long time since I've coded in DB, but I believe you could use the PERFORM CHECKLIST FOR CONTROL DEVICES command to get all the names of the joysticks and then use the SET CONTROL DEVICE command to set which control you want to use. Then check to see if the user pressed any buttons. So I guess would have to check for input on joystick one and then check for input on joystick two, just keep switching back and forth. Maybe that helps you out.

Also I think someone made some extended commands for controllers/joysticks back a while ago...check around the fourms.
