Title: Joystick calibration info
Post by: Lilwolf on March 14, 2005, 08:59:45 am
Anyone know where the joystick calibration is stored in windows?

I have a hot swap setup for some analog controllers.. But I still need to calibrate them every time I switch. 

I would LOVE to find something (or write something) that will swap between the different calibrations so I can do it automatically.

I'm assuming in the registry.  I didn't see it and hate just changing values..

Oh Yeah... anyone know if there is anyway to compare two save files from a registry so I can change the configuration and see what changes?

Thanks

If they're plug and play ones, can't you just set them up in windows control panel with a different controller ID?? and the settings are then stored for each one.

I can't because I'm hot swapping the joysticks themselves.  I have a starwars control panel, two t2 controllers on another all looking like they are always plugged in on the system (would have had a flight stick, but having the troubles with the other two, I never made a ocntrol panel and sold it recently :( )

Make it so I have to plug in a keyboard to use a control panel made it so I never use these control panels anymore.  To much work to play one game. 

But good idea for most.  And probably the reason I'm having troubles finding anything (because nobody else really is having the issues I am).

but if the new guns work well in t2, I might be selling those controllers soon.  Id rather have a working starwars controller without having to configure anything then authentic t2 controller I think.  Just never using it anymore :(  Hate wasting good controllers when others could be using it.
