Hello,

As I want to check up to about 8 joysticks I need a function telling me how many are connected to the PC or a function which returns if a joystick with the specific number is connected and can be examined. ExamineJoystick just notifies the debugger as if it is a fatal error to check a non-existing joystick. Without debugger it works.

Thanks,
Daniel

InitJoystick() returns the number of connected joystick, and can be called again if you want to check if a new one is available.

Ah, good to know . Sorry for the mistake (It's a bit hard to to keep track of the commands for me).

[EDIT]
But the Debugger still says: "InitJoystick() can only be called once." and stops the program.

Ha yes, i will remove the debug check, thanks.

Fred, maybe you shouldn't do that.
leave the check but add a wrapper called GetJoysticks() or something.
That way the InitJoystick() will keep behaving like all other Init functions. (can only be called once)
