Cool. I'm only running MAME, but that's good to know.
Well, I got it all hooked up an working. Next question though, how do I configure MameWah to work now? It's wants the "1", "2", "esc" and up/down keystrokes are no longer coming out of my CP. I scanned through the docs but couldn't find anything. I know I'm using an old version, is that the problem or is there some easy answer to this?
Thanks

Edit the 'default.ini' file in the ctrlr subdirectory. Should be pretty self explanatory.

Thanks man. I had read the crtl.document file in the "docs" folder but though the ctrlr subdirectory was only for setting info for individual games or emulators. I didn't realize it was also a place for settings that controlled mamewah itself Sometimes the mamewah docs make me dizzy. :dizzy: and this gamepad stuff is all new to me.
But with a little playing around, I'm all good to go.
Thanks again all

I hate to ask a question that I'm sure will have an obvious answer, but I'm stuck and can't find anything in search that has been on point.
I'm using PowerMAME with a Mala frontend, but am just now getting around to installing actual joysticks (the HApps 49 ways) for use with that setup. I have my GPWiz49 wired up and it registers in the Windows game controller config utility, but I have not figured out how to make it work in MAME. Once you tab into the controls settings for MAME and select a function to change, should the buttons wired through the GPWiz49 automatically display when pressed (much like a keyboard button would)?
Is there something I have to do enable the use of the GPWIZ49 with PowerMAME?

Did you enable joysticks? I know official mame disables them by default.
