Despite its problems with 00018 /// the most current generation of controllers, 00019 /// I've had good luck with Playstation 2 and Nintendo 64 controllers 00020 /// under DirectInput (you'll need USB adapters). 00021 /// 00022 /// Also, Microsoft itself seems uncertain about the future of its own 00023 /// input APIs. Do some web searches for XInput vs. DirectInput to find 00024 /// out the current status of their support. Given that XInput appears 00025 /// to be the only API receiving updates, and it only supports XBox 360 00026 /// controllers, it is possible that the DirectX 00027 /// APIs will only support Microsoft hardware in the future. At the moment 00028 /// there is no good alternative for gamepad APIs on Microsoft platforms. 00029 ///
