It is, directx has no limits on the number of buttons per joystick, nor the number of joysticks. Or at least windows does not :) I have this coded in VB and its working nicely. Couldnt fully port it over to PB due to this. ah .. limitation of PB.

Besides it works wonderfully when you hook your computer to your entertainment system (TV+sound system). Then you get a big screen TV and nice sound to play the game, not to mention lots-o-buddies.

Besides they are actually gamepads (PB calls them joysticks?!?!) with 10 buttons, which you can buy via price watch for $7 a pop. (USB)

Ah yes, I prefer the gamepad over the joystick. Joystick reminds me of the commodor 64.

haven't used joysticks for a long time, but i've been playing packman and alien breed lately, and i miss the accuracy of my good old arcade competition pro joystick...

The Pure Basic manual states :

Quote:
PureBasic provides a full access to joysticks plugged to the computer. It supports standard joysticks upto 8 buttons. It use the DirectX technology.


I can detect all 10 buttons on my Logitech Rumblepad 2.

As there is no current support for multiple joysticks, does anyone know of a workaround for the meantime? I believe Pure Basic will support multiple joysticks at some point. I can only access one of the two analog sticks on my aforementioned joystick for example. How can I access the other?

I must have overlooked this sentence originally. So PureBasic does support more then 8 buttons? My gamepad only has 8, so I can not verify. Anyone else?
