How to make the lights work?

[mechcalvin]

seems it doesn't map all keys in joystick calibration menu, also is it possible to make the button lights work as well?

@mechcalvin The calibration menu from windows is limited to 32 buttons. The Steel Batallion controller has 39, so 7 are missing from there.

This is likely because the calibration window uses an older version of DirectInput, newer versions support up to 128 buttons. Here are the API differences: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/desktop/ee416627(v=vs.85) https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/desktop/ee416628(v=vs.85)

You should test game by game to see how many they can access.

The lights are not implemented in this driver.

any chance of updating the direct input API to the 128 button version

@The-Math-God It has nothing to do with the driver, that is an API that the game can be using. If you mean the calibration menu I know there is programs around that can show you all 128 buttons.
