Dudley Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 A number of fliers have expressed problems with joystick and controller IDs being changed by software or OS updates. There is a handy utility for assigning a specific ID # to each USB based controller. It's called PJP's JoyIDs at http://pjp-s-joyids.software.informer.com/versions/ My apologies -- I do not recommend the link above! It's a very confusing download site and essentially wants your email address to put on their advertising list. There are multiple links that seem to offer a download of JoyIDs but get you nowhere - just more links to other software they are hawking. Most annoying! That wasn't my experience when I downloaded the JoyIDs executable some years ago. The version that I have identifies itself as release 1.a It's a 2Kb file and it's always passed my anti-virus and security scans (I use Trend Micro). If you want the program, send me a message and I can post it on the JG1 TeamSpeak file browser. Note: The JoyIDs.exe can assign ID numbers such #1, #2 and so on and lets you swap the ID numbers. See the screenshot below. However, applications such as ROF see the controller IDs starting at 0 (zero). In JoyIDs, my SideWinder MS-FFB2 joystick is ID# 1, but ROF reads this as ID# 0, my Saitek joystick as ID# 1 and my rudder pedals as ID# 2. (I have 2 joysticks as the Saitek has a split-throttle and up to 28 separate button assignments + hat-switch) The main utility of the program is that it allows you to put your controller IDs in the proper order. Hopefully, this means you do not have to re-key all the axis and button assignments for a previously working game.

IRFC Hawkeye Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 Any advice as to which version? I see there is a newer beta.....what's different or improved about it, if anything? EDIT: Dudley, I'd like the program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caedus Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 This is the site that I first got it from years ago It seems to be the only legit site to obtain the program from. https://theairtacticalassaultgroup.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13009 This software is so essential to me, Idk how it is not more widely known or available, anyway great piece of software.

Dudley Posted January 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 S! Caedus, Thanks for the link. I agree, it does make life easier when juggling controllers. Dudley Klaiber 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
