Cool, glad it works. "hat" means hatswitch, which are those little
joystick-like things that are actually made with buttons.

I compiled and ran HID Explorer, and it is a bit crazy for the game pad, calling it a 32 button, 2 hat joystick. I don't know what the term 'hat' means, but perhaps is from me using a playstation2 to usb adapter with 2 inputs?
Hahaha ok after a quick brain fart, I understand what the problem was. I had plugged the gamepad into the Player 2 socket of the adapter. Switching to Player 1 solves the problem.
Sorry about that!
But this does make me wonder then how 2 gamepads will work...

It could be a problem with [hid], but [hid] really just reports and translates events it gets from the OS. I haven't seen any bugs yet where it wasn't reporting events that it was in fact getting from the OS, but there is a first time for everything.
In any case, getting the info from HID explorer will help to narrow down the problem.

Yes, snes9x is a Mac OS X application running on the same
machine, and
the button presses do work with it. I will check out your link, but this seems like an hid issue.

This is a useful app for testing HIDs:

Sooooo, I attached a [print KYLE] to the left outlet, and then
message
[hid] with [device 3( and I get this: first_argument == &s_ info: open 1 info: device 3 KYLE: abs abs_z 128 KYLE: abs abs_rz 128 KYLE: abs abs_x 128 KYLE: abs abs_y 128
And then nothing else, no matter what buttons on the gamepad I
press.
The gamepad itself lights up, so is getting power, and it's
listed by
hid. It works (badly) at controlling Super Mario World on the
SNES9X
emulator, so I know the buttons work.
Any ideas or data collection you'd like for me to do?

When you click the [print( message, it should tell you which
elements
are supported and their type. Do you get any event at all when
you
press a button? Try hooking up a [print] to [hid] and see if
you get
anything when you click a button. They might report using non- standard labels.
