I've been implementing some joystick control for my game - I notice that DBPro reads slider A on my Saitek Cyborg as 65536 min and 0 max - which is a bit counter-intuitive but dealable with. I was just wondering whether this is consistent i.e. something DBP does with all joysticks and game controllers, or if it is a 'feature' of my trusty cyborg

Thanks

since DB reads the joysticks through directx then I assume that the commands return the same range of values for any joystick, thats why you calibrate an analogue joystick during install before you use it. so that directx can return the same range of values to any program that uses it, otherwise you would would have to calibrate your joystick to every game you installed to make em controlable, it`s easier if directx returns the same values to all programs regardless of what joystick you use.

Mini ATX cases suck.

I get that on my Logictech Wingman Rumblepad

Making a cool sig is just too much pressure for me right now.
