Maximum # USB Gamepads/Detecting If Plugged In

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Programming/Maximum # USB Gamepads/Detecting If Plugged In

Hi,

With powered 'daisy chained' USB Hubs it is possible to have supposedly about 127 USB devices connected to a PC. Could Blitz3d handle this, does it have an upper limit to the number of USB Gamepads that can be connected at any one time?

Also, is there a way to detect when a USB Gamepad has been plugged in/removed from the PC in Blitz3d. EDIT: Just saw the 'JoyType' command in the manual.

Reason for asking is that I'm thinking of making a 'tavern fight/bar room brawl' mini game where people can just hook up a USB gamepad and join in at any time.
