Mala ignores my new joystick, but Mame likes it...

(1/3) > >>

Dreamwriter:
I'm having problems here.  Mala was working fine with my old joystick, but I just bought a pair of UltraStick 360's, and no matter what I do Mala ignores them.  Windows sees it fine (and you can control the crosshair in the control panel), it works great in Mame, but in Mala it does...nothing.  In fact, with the joystick plugged in Mala automatically disables the "Use Joystick" option.  And reenabling doesn't fix the problem, nor calibrating.

Anyone have any ideas?  Thanks...

Wait a few days for the next release.

Swindus has made some improvements in this area. I don't know where he finds the time?

Refer his work in progress page: http://mala.arcadezentrum.com/wip.html

I figured it out - even though it was the only controller in the system, I had to tell Windows that that joystick was the "Preferred Device for older programs".  Did that, and suddenly Mala was happy.

swindus:
Yes, that was my idea too. MaLa is using the mmsystem.dll and not DirectInput for the joysticks.
