I'm creating a video game that's capable of reading in and using controllers. What I want to know is how do you switch between controllers? DarkSDK will only read in one controller. DarkSDK will only read the inputs of the default controller. DarkSDK has a function "dbSetControlDevice ( char* szDevice )" to switch between controllers, but, that function takes in as inputs, the name of the controller. My two controllers are exactly the same type and brand, therefore have the exact same names. Therfore, I've used the "dbSetControlDevice" function, but since both of my controllers have the same name, it doesn't switch between the controllers; it always use one as the default controller and the other, it'll never switch to. So, I just want to know how I'll be able to switch between my two controllers. The game is a two player game so I need to be able to read in inputs from both controllers, simultaneously, if I can.

Your going to have to use an alternative method - I believe there should be a OpenGL joystick reading system somewhere that will help

I use glfw. As far as I can tell it works perfectly fine with DGDK. You just have remember to call glfwTerminate(); before finishing the program. Very simle to use aswell.

My signature has been erased by me because it's LARGE.
Thank you for the votez!1!
