I have a sidewinder usb gamepad. When I try an configure it, it goes bonkers. When i press up it says down, and when i press right sometimes it will say already used, then alot of the times it just goes nuts.. goes to each slot, an keeps going. its weird.. is something set wrong in the pce.ini file?

Things to try :

Is your gamepad propperly configured in 'settings\controll pannel\gaming options'? Check if your usb ports dont have any conflicts and/or problems.
Is your gamepad working correctly with anything else? What OS are you using? If you changed a few things in the INI file, try a clean one as the deffault settings usually works for a majority of configurations.

Try these tips, who knows?

Problem with DirectX meseems. Magic Engine uses pre-USB DX3 API; works with some pads/adapters, fails with others. Nothing can't be done until ME supports DX8.

Change the 'auto_calibration' option in the pce.ini file, try higher and lower values (ie. 50, 90, ...). This doesn't always work but sometimes that does the trick. Smile
