Title: Cant configure gamepad with MAME v.81--Help.
Post by: arcadecab on May 01, 2004, 11:59:05 pm

I just downloaded the new MAME v.81 and tried to reconfigure my gamepads, which worked just fine before I upgraded to v.81.  The gamepads are recognized by the computer and windows, but when I hit tab and try to customize them for mame, buttons on the gamepad are not recognized.  It is strange that it worked so well before I went awhile without playing and recently upgraded with new mame and roms.  Could there be anything I am doing wrong?  Any reason MAME would not be recognizing the gamepad when I know that my computer and windows does recognized them--ie system--device manager.  Thanks for any help.

In mame.ini, make sure that joystick input is set to 1.  If you do not have a mame.ini, run mame -cc to create it.  Here is what this part of the file shoujd look like:

### Input device options ###
mouse                   1
joystick                1
