| | game controllers and windows Hello, Is it possible to get Windows Vista to accept a game controller developed for Microsoft XBox or for the PlayStation using the USB port to attach it. I would like to use such a game controller and develop a game with DirectX that can make use of such a joystick. Any ideas? Thanks, John Goche |
