MaLa Not Recognizing Joysticks

[nick3092]

Up until tonight, MaLa (1.74) has had no problem seeing my GP-Wiz 40.  Now tonight it stopped responding to any button presses.  I opened up the configuration menu, and when I go to Controllers -> Joystick -> Check, it says 0 Buttons for joystick ID 1.  I switch to 2, and it then sees 16 buttons (one of my N64/GC adapters).  It used to see 32 buttons on ID 1 previously.

Now, up until tonight, I've always had 2 USB "gamepads" plugged in, the GP-Wiz and a 4NES4SNES adapter (which technically provides 4 gamepads).  Tonight I added 2 N64/GC adapters.  So I unplugged all the gamepads except the GP-Wiz and restarted MaLa.  Then it showed 0 buttons regardless of which ID I picked.  I exited MaLa, unplugged the GP-Wiz, waited 30 seconds plugged it back in.  Restarted MaLa, still nothing.

With all the other joysticks unplugged, I checked the Windows (7) game controller properties and it sees the GP-Wiz fine.  All the buttons test out fine.  I started up MAME, it sees the GP Wiz fine as well.  I even unzipped a fresh copy of MaLa and started it up.  It wouldn't recognize the GP-Wiz either.  I turned on debugging, but couldn't really glean anything from the log.  I also tried the 1.742 beta out of desperation.  Nothing is working.  I can see if MaLa was upset that there were like 7 gamepads plugged in, but even when I unplug them all it still won't see it.

I'm at my wits end here....

That did the trick! Mow I'll just have to play around with it when I add in my other joysticks.

Thanks!!
