Not having any luck detecting this with Monkey,

Trying to compile for GLFW,

Tried the commands, nothing

Tried the "joy test" example, still nothing

My controller is working fine in windows & games.

Any idea what's going wrong ?

Thanks.

Just tried joytest with mine -- all seems to be detected except for the D-pad, which registers nothing.

Very strange,

Mine is plugged into a powered USB hub.

Is your plugged directly into the PC ?

James,
The DPad now works (Mark updated it in v76 or v77) - just tested on his Joytest program in v78a.

Drex,
It should work! You could try changing it to another USB port (or one on your PC itself rather than the hub).

Its working now....

Was nothing to do with the USB hub,

Just had to go into Control Panel > Hardware & Sound > Devices & Printers

Go into Game controller settings for the 360 controller, and choose it as a
preferred device for working with older programs.

Thanks,
