Hello everyone. As you may know I'm working on the dinput8 action mapping support and at the moment I've pretty much finished the mouse and keyboard and just need to get my patches in.
For the next part, however, I'm going to need to analyze lot's of data generated by different joysticks to figure out how the mapping works. Some things are already clear for me, but I have only some simple USB joysticks here and thus would like your help to collect more useful data.
If any of you has any sort of joystick (simple gamepads, driving wheels and whatnot) and would like to help, I've set up a little app that uses the DI8 action mapping API to construct a mapping for every connected joystick and outputs it to the terminal. You just need to run it, redirect the output to a file and email it back to me. Telling me which version of windows you're running would be nice. If you want to help but can't use windows, wine with native dinput8.dll is fine too.
The program can be found here: https://github.com/downloads/lfzawacki/dinput-samples/devices_test.exe The code is here: https://github.com/lfzawacki/dinput-samples/blob/master/devices_test.cpp
Thanks in advance Cheers

Hi, so you are the One who can finish off the bug 8754?? :-D
I own force feedback wheel: "Logitech Wingman Formula Force GP" and did three of this piece of HW on:
* WinXP 32 bit SP3 (English) * WinXP 64 bit SP2 (English) * Win Vista Business 32 bit SP2 (Czech :-/ )
Results are attached. I also have access to some Microsoft Force Feedback wheel (Sidewinder?), so if interested i could try to make some log during the weeken. Also Win7 should not be a big problem.
Maybe some week translation could come handy in Vista case ;)
* "Osa X" ~ X Axis * "Tlačítko" ~ Button * "Kolekce 0 - Pakovy ovladac" ~ Collection 0 - Joystick
Regards, W.

I hope so. As soon as my first patches get in I hope things should be working with the keyboard, so if you have access to the NFSU games you should test it.

Awesome! Thank you.

It's not vital but if it's not a problem for you I'd like this data too.
Thanks again
Hi Lucas,
i did some more testing with your updated program and added another wheel - the Microsoft SideWinder Force Feedback Wheel. The difference is, that Microsoft wheel is autocalibrating and report itself as 3 Axis (wheel, Accelerator pedal, Break pedal) and test program output is double in size ;) compared to Logitech, which is just 2Axis (wheel, Accelerator pedal & Break pedal are reported as combined pedal).
I also noticed a difference in output, when i installed logitech drivers, so that's the reason, why logitech is there twice (first was used with some generic windows autoinstalled, then i installed the driver and run the test again).
That all tested under 4: * WinXP 32bit SP3 * WinXP 64bit SP2 * Win Vista 64bit SP2 * Win 7 32bit SP1
Enjoy, if that helps you or anyone else :)
Regards, W.
