| Is there a way to get the name of the joystick attached? In commercial games they grab the name of the stick (XBox 360 USB for example). I thought this would be helpful for people with multiple sticks attached to the same machine. I know joytype reports digital or analog but I was hoping for something a little more specific. Any help would greatly be appreciated. |

| Not with any of the standard blitz commands. |
| ||
| Are there any free dlls that do the trick? |
| ||
| Try this. |
| ||
| That works! THANKS! From within B+ I add the dll and .decls into the userlibs directory. To include it with my game would I just drop it in the same directory as my executable? |
| ||
| Nevermind... seems to include the files inside the exe. Even nicer! |
