I want to start TASing Shovel Knight. However, when I start the game in Hourglass, it loads just fine except that it won't read any input at all. All of Hourglass' tools do work though If anyone else is interested in TASing there is glitch discussion and such going on here.

IIRC the reason Shovel Knight doesn't work in Hourglass is because Hourglass doesn't support XInput yet. I'm pretty hype for a Shovel Knight TAS, so I hope it is possible in ~2015.

Does that still apply even if I'm using keyboard?

For some reason, yes. Still trying to find time to look into this. It's a known bug.

Someone suggested using this for Shovel Knight: https://code.google.com/p/x360ce/ Also, this should be in Windows Games not Hourglass (Windows), I think.

If they hook some of the same functions as us, there could be hook-races. But feel free to give it a try, if it works fine, then it's a temporary solution until I can get around to fix the Xinput problem.

I never noticed that x360ce is open source, despite having used it often myself (until I bought a 360 pad for Windows, that is). They managed to correctly hook the Xinput calls, so there's a good chance there's some useful stuff in their code.

Due to license stuff we're not allowed to just merge that code though, but we might be able use it as a reference to fix up our own code.
