If, like me, you are using a joystick with more than 32 buttons you might be interested in this little utility I wrote. It lets you see the status of up to 128 buttons (the DirectX limit). I am not a programmer and wrote this quickly but it should work for you if you have up to date DirectX and .Net libraries.
The program and source links are on my blog: http://workbench.freetcp.com/archives/695

Thanks for putting this up. Seeing as my first (hopefully of many) project is going to be using a hacked joystick this will be very helpful. Thank you!
No problem, I hope someone besides me gets some use out of it. If you have questions or problems PM me or send me an email from the About Me page on my blog.
That is interesting and useful. Thanks for sharing.Quote:

Hello!
Some time ago I've been developing an interface board based on ARM7 (AT90SAM7) controller and shift registers chain.
From the USB point of view it was a composite device - joystick with the maximum number of buttons (128) and axes (8) plus custom part.
I've developed (if the modification of the Microsoft DDK example can be called "development") the driver for the custom part.
I can share both sources of the firmware and the driver and application.
Does anybody wants it?
