There's a bug with the JoyHit() command, but I'm not sure if it's causing your problems. The button and port parameters are transposed.

This should work...

Doh!...No it won't, you'll have to use this fix if you can compile modules and want to add it yourself.

Graphics 800, 600, 0

If Not(JoyCount()) Then RuntimeError "No joysticks found!"

Local y = -12

Repeat
  For Local thisPort = 0 Until JoyCount()
    For Local thisButton = 0 To Int(Log(JoyButtonCaps(thisPort)) / Log(2))
      If JoyHit(thisButton, thisPort)
        y :+ 12
        
        If y > (GraphicsHeight() -12)
          y = 0
          Cls
        EndIf
	DrawText "Button " + thisButton + " on Port " + thisPort + " was hit", 0, y
      EndIf
    Next
  Next
  
  Flip
Until KeyHit(KEY_ESCAPE) Or AppTerminate()

End
