Title: Joytokey works on notepad, not in MAME
Post by: ShoryuKeith on June 29, 2016, 02:09:38 pm: I'm using MAME 172, no nag forced direct input...

I want to use joytokey for a button hold, and when i test the buttons in notepad...they work, but as soon as i enter a game in MAME, the button is no longer recognised....what could be wrong?

OP didn't say he was using Hyper anything unless I missed something.

From the OP's follow up, it looks like you were right anyway. To many components in Hyperspin though, seriously.

Yeah, joysticks won't be very good to enable, but I wanted to check on that anyway. Do you have the keybindings for the various inputs in HyperHQ mapped to the same bindings in joytokey?
