Re: The library names are hilarious...
Seriously? I mean, I've never seen one like that. I've seen trackballs on computer (I owned one) and in arcades (Marble Madness). But not part of a joystick. Wouldn't it just basically be a mouse/joystick hybrid? The ball would just control the cursor, wouldn't it? Which would just categorize it as a mouse.raidho36 wrote:A trackball mounted to the joystick. Duh.
Also, I still don't know what a "hat" is.

It's a common synonym for "d-pad". Probably was born because not all joystick d-pads are actually directional pads and instead are more like digital (as opposed to analog) thumb sticks or whatever.Jasoco wrote:I still don't know what a "hat" is.

Here is a joystick hat:
Some gamepad drivers recognize the d-pad of the gamepad as a hat switch as well, as Raidho said. Some don't.

Well, within Windows, all joysticks I've ever used (and I had gamepads, HOTAS joysicks and steering wheels and whatnot) had their d-pad like devices recognized as hats. I've never thought it could possibly be otherwise until I heard of XBox360 controller OS X driver that would recognize d-pad as 4 buttons.

Isn't it one of those track ball joysticks like the old bowling arcade games or pacman?? I think I played a pacman game with a rollerball.
