Legacy GM How to detect gamepad labeled as USB Joystick

In GM:S2 it is detected as a gamepad(4) but I don't know how to get it on 1.4 because it's not detected under all 12 indexes. I see it as a problem because not everyone can have a 360 controller.
I also tried 360 controller emulator 32-bit & 64-bit.

Also, I'm getting a message in the debugger: Attempting to set gamepadcount to 12

after checking gamepad_get_device_count() I get 12 with or without gamepads connected. WTF!

EDIT: just made a totally blank project without any objects and just 1 room (gamepads connected and disconnected) still: Attempting to set gamepadcount to 12

EDIT: found out that there is joystick input device (should be 2 max but I get return of 12 devices exist).

EDIT: Now I found out that 360 controller is recognised as gamepad 0 AND joystick 1 and 3 to12, but USB joystick as joystick 2.
