So I guess that the "force feedback" feature doesn't influence anything?
If I understand correctly, is enough that such controllers are USB-HID
compliant.
It's hard to tell for sure for a specific device, but in theory, USB-HID
allows both inputs and outputs. A common example of HID output is keyboard
leds, but force feedback could be one such output too. So this is not a
problem.
While I'm waiting to buy the new gamepad, i borrowed the one of a
friend of mine, to do some test with this app:
https://github.com/HaikuArchives/JoystickUtilizer ;(to use the gamepad
with games which doesnt supports the gamepad).
This gamepad which I temporary borrowed, still work flawlessly on
Haiku, but only with Bes9X and XMame.
If I play games using JoystickUtilizer (eg RoadFighter, the SDL game),
the gamepad seems uncalibrated: the direction tends to drifts to the
right. I've seen that around there is a Joystick Preflet for Haiku:
http://cgit.haiku-os.org/haiku/plain/src/preferences/joysticks/ but,
apart the fact that I don't know how to compile this app (maybe needs
the whole Haiku Source?) I ask to myself if this prelfet give the
ability to calibrate the game controller. There is something that i
can do?
Kind regards,
