what buttons are which on a 360 controller and FRAPS?

[MisterN]

1. What buttons are which on a 360 controller to use with bennu?

2. Howcome bennu does not work with fraps?

EDIT: I am making a bennu program that will show you whats what on a joypad, and im using a 360 controller as its basis, since many pc controllers today are based off of it. I cannot figure out how to get the d-pad to work. Thats it, other than that, I have gotten every other thing on the controller to work. if I use Joy_gethat, only 0 works, but that applies to every button on the d-pad.

Do you want the d-pad digitally? I believe it's either the hat switch or simply the axis.

I want a digital d-pad working with the two analog sticks (the RT and LT buttons are also axis's as well) This is the program I am working on:

It is for use with a 360 controller. The issue I am having is getting the digital d-pad to work.

fraps?

[MisterN]

video recorder.
http://www.fraps.com/
very good quality, but like 1 minute is 1gb

[SplinterGU]

I was imagine that... I was found it in google...

sorry, I can't do nothing for fraps compatibility... maybe you must think in capture screens in memory and then dump it to disk... I made it for some videos (engine outrun like)

[MisterN]

Oh ok. But now my unsolved problem.

The Xbox 360 D-pad. I cannot get it to work right.

Did you know that a controller can have more then two axis in the usb spec? If you have a d-pad and two analog sticks on a controller you've got 6 axis in total (that's where the playstation controller got it's name from). Maybe you have to fiddle with the joy_axes function wich return the number of buttons on the active (or selected) controller.

thanks splinter, it works. but, i still have no idea at all how to use the hats, cause the code is so well intertwined, i cant take it apart to see whats what.
