Title: Some help re future pinball button config.
Post by: deano71 on May 28, 2015, 08:40:28 am

Hope asking in the right place. I have a usb button input on my machine that the PC sees it as a 2 controller joypad. I have future pinball installed with a button either side of the machine for the flippers.I configed in Hyperlaunch and it recognises the inputs fine. When i launch future pinball the game only recognises the inputs from Joypad 1. The right flipper button is on the Joypad 2 side. Any suggestions please?

rewire that button to one that's seen on the P1 pad even if its in parallel to another button (ie 2 buttons sharing the same input)

Hi thanks. I have a pre wired usb Daisy Chain So gonna be awkward for me to do. If I go into future pinball settings it recognises the input fine. I can push the right and left buttons and they light up on the key config settings In Futre Pinball.

Use Joy2Key or autohotkey to make the non-working button post the correct keyboard key.

if running 2 wires less than 2 feet is too hard, then you'll have to rely on a software solution like joy2key or an AHK script like BadMouth suggested.  :cheers:
