First of all, i'm no expert in these issues, so correct me if i'm wrong.

The FFB provided by linux kernel (the one i've used at least) works for all i-force (Immersion Techs) devices.
I think Immersion has patent for all force feedback systems (isn't that why the ps3 default controllers don't come with ffb?), so i guess all devices with ffb support adhere to i-force api, making it a sort-of standard.

Judging by what the hacker who coded i-force support says, it looks like this api could be used as a standard (of course not an open standard); but i guess it's easier to directly use Immersion SDKs on windows (which we don't have in linux).

Being mostly a linux developer (except for 6h a day at work! :lol: ), i have no idea about FFB support in windows. Does DirectX provide an api for it? Or is it necessary to use (buy?) the Immersion one?


Now changing topic... people at SDL already discussed the inclussion of a FFB api. The problem, IIRC, was that there's not enough interested/experienced developers on the subject. These discussions are on the SDL mailing list anyway, feel free to search it.

Also, i don't know how mature this lib is atm (probably not much), but the Object Oriented Input System is supposed to support some FFB devices, while being cross-platform.


Sorry for the mess of ideas in this post, gotta go to bed Tongue
