[PD] hid vs. ddr gamepad

I compiled and ran HID Explorer, and it is a bit crazy for the game
pad, calling it a 32 button, 2 hat joystick. I don't know what the
term 'hat' means, but perhaps is from me using a playstation2 to usb
adapter with 2 inputs?

Hahaha ok after a quick brain fart, I understand what the problem was.
I had plugged the gamepad into the Player 2 socket of the adapter.
Switching to Player 1 solves the problem.

Sorry about that!

But this does make me wonder then how 2 gamepads will work...
