love.joystick.open

This function is not supported in earlier or later versions.

Opens up a joystick to be used, i.e. makes it ready to use. By default joysticks that are available at the start of your game will be opened.

Unlike conventional Lua indexes, joysticks begin counting from 0 in LÖVE 0.7.2 and below. To to open the first joystick, you would use love.joystick.open(0). This is not the case in LÖVE 0.8.0 and later.
