You're welcome, Dave
One mistake in  EnumJoysticksCallback proc:

  .if [edx].DI_ENUM_CONTEXT.bPreferredJoyCfgValid &&  ecx == FALSE
          mov eax, DIENUM_CONTINUE
          ret
  .endif

If I remember correctly I can use joystick without using DXINPUT, there is a joystick function on one of the winAPI, it JOYSTICKEX structure or something, its been long time ago. I can use my Playstation 2 USB joystick with it.

[dedndave]

the multi-media library has those functions (mmJoy...)

[Farabi]

Oh the function name is joyGetPos, use the structure which had EX name on it on the newer version of Windows, it will work on lots of joystick type.

Ok, now we know how to handle joystick input with multimedia library and DIRECT INPUT .
There's another way of doing it - using RAW INPUT API.

[Siekmanski]

Or directly via HID library.

[dedndave]

that looks much cleaner that DirectInput   :P
