Hi all, I have seen that there is compatibility with XB360 gamepad using certain library, bur isnt there a way to allow the player to have any kind of generic twin stick controller? I mean from any brand or any model, it would be cool to allow him/her to map the gamepad they own instead of forcing them to buy one specific that maybe is hard to get for them. Well I hope you can help me because I searched in other threads and found only what I said but maybe I missed something or there is other type of library we can use for such end.

I don't know, but I see this commands in DarkGDK's help file:

Thanks for the info s_i =). But after checking them I notice these will recognice one stick but not twin sticks, I mean, I know as said that there is a library for recognizing twin sticks in the XB360 controller but apparently there is no other way we can recognize twin sticks in other controller? like PS2 or any generic one for PC?

EDIT: I noticed that on my test controller the left stick is detected as default and the right does something like Z Twist value, but anyway thanks a lot for the information, I never thought this could be defined ike that, I was specting something like Joystick2Up or something
