Trouble with OUYA Drivers in Windows 7

I was having all sorts of problems with the OUYA and OUYA Console drivers in windows, and I wasn't using ADB because I'm working with GameMaker Studio.

Timothy Graupmann's tutorial on how to get things working worked for me.  In my case, I had to install the SDK not the ADB, and so it's important to set the PATH to point to the tools and platform-tools folders after install, but once this is done, everything else works if you follow his tutorial step by step.

Solving the "xinput1_3.dll not found" problem

If you get the error "xinput1_3.dll not found", whether you're using GameMaker Studio or any other application, the answer is simple, you need to fix your DirectX install.  The link below works great.  I had this issue and after running the following (it's a simple install) things worked great for me.

In my case, I couldn't get GamePad support in GameMaker Studio, I was getting the error message "xinput1_3.dll not found. Gamepad support disabled", so that's what I did to fix it.
