Konami DDR GamePad Stoped Working, but clones didnt

I ve usung Konami DDR floor Mats for a while, today something quite WEIRD happened.

It RAN ok on development, but compiled to PC (win/EDGE wrapper) and it STOP working.

Tested another Konami DDR Floor Mat, and same results.

Changed to a cheap clone from amazon, and it did work, then to another one, and another one and finaly the 4rth one and all worked.

All Clones worked, Original Konamis stoped working.

Something BIG to notice!

I tested on a untouched pc, a compilated version the same floormat game ( so nothing changed, no game update no nothing) IT didnt work. It sounds to me that microsoft update may be the culprit here...

Any thoughs??? for me is QUITE important to be able to keep using those dance floormats.

Do they work in other (non-construct) games? Do they work in preview? Have you tried NWjs export?

I am unsure if this applies in Construct 3, but:

I find that, when testing gamepads, if I connect and disconnect controllers a lot, sometimes the controllers get assigned to random players at times (I.e the x box controller light is set to player 3, even when there are no other controllers connected).

If you test, try rebooting with only 1 DDR pad connected, and see if it works? Perhaps it is getting assigned to player 2 or 3 or something.

hi again !

1-Only tested on PC (wraper with edge engine), havent got the time, but i will try

2-I tested on Index (-1) so it may work with any gamepad regardles of the controller id.

any one has faced same issue?

If some work and some don't, there is highly likely an issue with your gamepad wrapper or the gamepad itself, not much construct can do about that.

Hi, work on DDR mat too. But my DDR pat is general dancing pad (I'm seller of dancing mat pad on my country). The gamepad always detected, My issues are some buttons (up left and up right) didn't recognized on build but fully recognized on development. That's why I am now converting my project on unity.

About your issues, you can test your DDR pad first on gamepad tester website and check if DDR pad types is general gamepad, if it unique, probably not works on some games made by construct, so you need to move to another game engine.

By the way, you can play my game DDR on my website, but seems i can't put link here
