hello

you did

sdlJoystickMapping[i] = &(AxisMappingTable[i]);

instead of copying entry 'j' in mapping 'i' (the last one found in the 
inner loop)

sdlJoystickMapping[i] = &(AxisMappingTable[i]);

So whatever version of USB joystick would be recognized, joystick 0 will 
always have mapping 0, joystick 1 always mapping 1, joystick 2 always 
mapping 2 (which doesn't exist in that case, as AxisMappingTable has 
only 2 entries), and so on.

In my case, my usb joystick in port 1 was not correctly detected : it 
used 'USB Gamepad' mapping instead of '*DEFAULT*', but my USB joystick's 
name has nothing to do with "USB Gamepad", so it should have the default 
axes mapping.

It worked for you because your joystick is really a "USB Gamepad" :)
