hi guys,
im a little stuck. i have a Logitech Dual Action usb gamepad that i would like to use for input, but when i plug it in and try to run my app with it, or even running TestJoystick.java -nothing happens. i know my gamepad works because i use it to play other games. i don’t think my joystick is being found, unless i am just not loading it into jME correctly.
the following is the relevant portion of the error output i recieved, i tried weeding through but i cannot see why this controller wasnt found.
(im a beginner) can anyone guide me to getting my joystick found and used as input?
error: from TestJoystick.java

i have not seen the IllegalStateException “Cannot find any joysticks!” that i had expected from reading the testcase after inputManager.getJoysticks() is called, so the inputmanger may recognize that there is one, i just cant seem to use it.
i tried downloading the jinput-dx8.dll and jinput-raw.dll files from the trunk but i dont know where to place them.
is there a plugin i need to install?
i am running windows vista on a dual core 3.4GHz, 2GB ram, Nvidia GeForce 7600 GS
Is this beta?
yes, im using the beta.
