Host: Windows doesn't parse players 1 through 4 labels properly

Open Tails86 opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

It seems to be a long-known bug with Windows DirectX/drivers from forum posts I have gone through. It still happens in Windows 11 now that I've actually looked. What's worse is that Windows doesn't even seem to sort them in the proper order. I'm assuming that the web interface is grabbing raw data instead of going through DirectX which is why things show up properly at gamepad-tester.com.

I think my only options here would be to either use a different USB descriptor for the device like xinput or spin up my own driver. Using xinput seems to be what most controller manufacturers are doing these days in order to avoid writing drivers.

This project will likely be very helpful.
