Joystick Gremlin + Plugin -> vJoy 2.2 doesn't work. 2.1.9 does. #7

Closed RedAero closed 1 year ago

I don't really know what exactly the problem is, but Joystick Gremlin, via a plugin, can talk just fine with vJoy 2.1.9, but not this fork/version.

For reproduction, follow the instructions here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHv14f6s2pQ

It'll work with @jshafer817 version 2.1.9. With this fork, vJoy never detects an input.

That's correct. This version here is not 2.1.9, but 2.2.x.x

Two options: 1) look at Joystick Gremlin directory, there are some files DLL files with VJoy name. Now gow to VJoy installation directory, take these DLL files there and copy them to Gremlin directory. This would fix the API. 2) contact Joystick Gremlin and tell them to update VJoy to 2.2.1.1 from here

3) Extra option: don't use Joystick Gremlin, but VJoy+FreePIE. My Github has a working FreePIE fork with this latest VJoy and fixed Force Feedback (FFB) - something even Joystick Gremlin cannot do and I have been asking them to fix it.

Rejected as issue is actually a dependance in Joystick Gremlin on vJor 2.1.9.x that does not match the new driver version (v2.2.x)
