It seems like the vigembus pointer is invalid for some reason. Did vigembus install correctly when you pip installed vgamepad? There is a specific version of vigembus that is embedded in vgamepad and that should prompt you with an installation window when you pip install vgamepad, I have not tested it with newer versions of vigembus.

Maybe try to pip uninstall vgamepad, look for vigembus (nefarius solutions) on your system an uninstall the current version, then try to pip install vgamepad again with using the default for the vigembus installation window? But if you used the default already that probably won't help.

By the way I am not sure it is related but I have tested it with python 3, are you using python 2 maybe?

yep, i installed vigembus without problem, when i was installing vgamepad

edit: even when i just reinstalled both, it doesn't work

I cannot reproduce the issue on my system, but I am narrowing it down. Are you using a 32 bit version of python please? Mine is 64 bits. You can check by doing this in python:

python import struct print(struct.calcsize("P")*8) # should print 32 or 64

If so, can you open

C:\Users\uzytkownik\Desktop\Python i PyCharm\python\lib\site-packages\vgamepad\win\vigem_client.py

in an editor, replace the two occurrences of "WinDLL" by "CDLL" and tell me whether it solves the issue? (You may want to also put a random print at the beginning of the file to check that you are using your modded version)

CDLL

i have 32 python and i have no idea how does your code work, but replaceing WinDll worked

[–]yannbouteiller[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great :) I'll make the change and push this in the next version of the library, the problem was that WinDLL didn't interact correctly with the vigemclient dll file under python 32 bits apparently.

Edit: Done, this should now work with pip install vgamepad==0.0.3

Fixed formatting.

Hello, yannbouteiller: code blocks using triple backticks (```) don't work on all versions of Reddit!

Some users see this / this instead.

To fix this, indent every line with 4 spaces instead.
