Programming directinput : resources ?
Hello,
I recently found a driver called dpadpro, that would allow a digital joystick (type amiga, connected through a custom connector to the parallel port) to be used with Windows 95/98. The driver "translates" the input coming from the parallel port to directinut.
I have such a joystick lying around, and it seemed fun to try it (this has nothing to do with my other posting about a game-controller, this here is purely ment as a challenge). Only problem is I have made the jump to Windows 2000, and the driver does not install there. I'm now thinking about writing my own driver (seems even more fun
).
Does anybody know of resources that might be usefull (other than the DirectX SDK, which I have completely downloaded) ?
Thanks !
Jörg
