..what kind of joysticks is supported by B3D, regarding connectivity, USB, RS232, game port trough sound card (sound blaster), etc??

USB joysticks and gamepads work fine. Game Port Joysticks (through sound card) work fine. Don't know about the other one RS232.

I thought it was anything that windows picks up as a games device. As B3D uses directinput

@andy_mc I do agree, but I wanted to hear from folks who actually tried it...im on some simple project whats require Joystick, so voice from folks who use it actually was my wish to hear, thats all..there is no such thing like experiance.. :)

..okay..I brought Logitech ATTACK3 Joystick (USB), properly plug in port, check over control panel to be sure that things working, so all buttons working just fine including jiystick movement, regarding test I have done in joystick properity...so, when i tried same joystick in B3D, with use of code from B3D help..thing simply doesnt work...except buttons 1-5..everything else is dead, including joystick movement (regarding code I just copy/paste from B3D help)...what im doing wrong here?? Anyone can post some working and tested code so i can give it a try??
