Joystick in E-Prime 1.x

Fri Mar 12 14:56:24 UTC 2010

with the logitech controller we use now i simply download and install the
driver from the logitech website (
http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/441/301&hub=1&cl=us,en?WT.z_sp=Image),
this program then lets me assign values to each button on the controller.
 typically, i'll do something like make the left trigger buttons = '0' and
the right trigger buttons = '1' and turn off all the other buttons so they
do nothing.
hopefully you can still find a similar driver for your gamepad from the
microsoft website...
