Hum, i'm reading the wiki SGDK tutorial (
http://code.google.com/p/sgdk/source/br ... .wiki?r=14)
`JOY_getJoyID` gives you ever more information about the current joypad.
Actually, SGDK is able to give you the ID of
* 3 buttons joypad (ID & *JOY_SUPPORT_3BTN*)
* 6 buttons joypad (ID & *JOY_SUPPORT_6BTN*)
* Sega !TeamPlayer (ID & *JOY_SUPPORT_TEAMPLAY*)
* EA 4Way or !TeamPlayer in Extra mode (ID & *JOY_SUPPORT_EA4WAY*)
* Sega Mouse (ID & *JOY_SUPPORT_MOUSE*)
* Konami Justifier (ID & *JOY_SUPPORT_JUSTIFIER*)
Sadly, i'm not able to use 'JOY_getJoyID` since this function dont seems to be included in SGDK.
Is it an old function not used anymore or what?

Unfortunately this function is *not yet* implemented, you are watching wiki source and this part is commented as not yet done
The next version will include more support about joypad, right now only 3 buttons joypad are supported...

I've already posted some code for using a mouse, 3 button, and 6 button pad to the board. You may want to use that until the official support is done.

No problem
I've made a program to detect the megadrive config (usefull when i just mod a megadrive and don't know the switch position)
I wanted to detect what type of joypad was connected, just for fun, so don't work hard for this, it was just for training for me

If you wanted to look at my changes for 3/6/mouse, they're
here.
That will change a little as it gets added to the repo... the mouse counters will become separate functions, for example.
