So I’ve been trying to make a test project detect the buttons on my gamepad for about an hour now and couldn’t figure out what’s wrong. It detects my controller fine and is able to see all its components but for some reason it doesn’t respond to any key press. So I decided to download JInput’s test jar and see if it works. From there, I saw that HAT Key is stuck to UP. And no other button press is getting detected either.
I rebooted to Windows and tried launching the test jar there too and oddly enough, it works fine. What can I do to remedy this problem? I’m sure it isn’t the USB port because I used it on Windows and it worked. This is on the same machine and I’m using bootcamp to boot to Windows.
I also have USB Overdrive for Mac OS X and my gamepad works with it too. So I’m kinda positive it’s a JInput thing.
This is in OSX Snow Leopard.
