Also looking to hook up several joystick devices and use the axis, pots, and sliders.
I did try to use a combination of vJoy http://vjoystick.sourceforge.net/site/ and 360ce https://code.google.com/p/x360ce/ to no avail.
Any ideas on where to start? If the controller isn’t an XInput device it’s likely DirectInput, would this mean we’d have to implement our own DirectInput handler?
Sounds great! Looking forward to getting the input taken care of so I can work on the control model in my demo.
