Crash on first launch with both stable and develop version about medlaunch HOT 3 OPEN

Hey there.
Yeah, that looks like a bug. The exception IS thrown when initializiing any joypads at boot.
I'll look into it as soon as I can.

Hey @Asnivor - thanks for the quick reply!

I just build the source myself and could identify the problem.
I had a software called PC Remote from Monect installed, which allowed me to control my PC via an Android phone and use it as a mouse/keyboard/gamepad. The software created it's own device driver "Monect Hid Device" which ultimately caused the exception to happen.

After I uninstalled the software and device from the device manager... voila, MedLaunch launched without problems.

Exception gets thrown on line 129 in the GamePad.cs, where it checks if the ContInfoFromLog.Count() > 0. This "Monect Hid Device" did fool the if-check and caused to go boom. Might want to use a try-catch block here too, even if this issue is rather rare.

Keep up the good work! I hope I helped!

Awesome stuff, thanks. Thats a great help.

I guess I never assumed there would be a gamepad device that would be detected in slimdx, but not in mednafen. Duh. I will certainly get this fixed up when I next have the chance.

Thanks again!
