OK I did some more changes, re-download PR 3 (it's a new one) and let me know how well/bad it works... Pray

Got my SideWinder GamePad USB partially working: only left and up directions are working. Buttons seem fine tho.

Something I forgot to configure maybe ?

I can confirm that up/down works in the menu and one button on my controller seems to close menus, but nothing works in game.

Works a treat here with my PSX pad and SmartJoy USB adapter. But very occasionally, the directional pad gets 'sticky' for a microsecond -- that is, one direction (can be any one) stops responding while the others still work. Could be related with the previous reports... Question

My SmartJoy is gamepad 1.

Finaly some results!

Looks like MagicEngine can read the gamepad state now, no more errors this side... ok... calibration is a different problem but much easier to deal with.

Someone mentionned that the gamepad was working when navigating in the menu but not in the game, does this happens to everyone?

No comprendo, je ne comprend pô, i dont undestand... Anxious

I have 2 pads :
Gamepad 0 = PC Propad 6, connected via my soundblaster card (NO USB)
Works fine with

- 5: off=1498 on=0 bitmask=00

Ok ok (but it's not easy to change the default setting because i have to memorize what is bouton 0, bouton 1, bouton 2..etc on my gamepad, for that i have to have a look at the windows control panel then return back to ME).

I also have a Gamecube pad connected via USB Connector

It gives me that :

And i'm just like a rooster in front of a knife... Think

Just for info here is the panel control for the Gamecube pad under windows

Hope it will help.

If you're talking about the PR3 that was released this morning, don't bother. It doesn't work with controllers correctly either. I went out and bought a PSX to USB adapter and it doesn't workm as well.

I am using JoyToKey and it is great. I am able to use my gamepad with it. You can get it here. http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA016823/
