I use a hacked sidewinder identical to yours for my cabinet. I haven't had a problem.

Is joystick set to "1" in your mame.ini file?

P.S. You are right about the "mode" button on this version of the sidewinder. Don't use it as an input.

Would this have anything to do with the "mame32ui configuration settings" inside the "ini" folder?

Can you tell me what I am supposed to look for or change?

Thanks.

I've never used Mame32ui (i use plain old command line mame), but my assumption is that the mame "configuration settings" file is the mame.ini file.

Right click on it and select open with...then select notepad to open the file for editing.

Look for this section

#
# CORE INPUT OPTIONS
#
coin_lockout              1
ctrlr                     
mouse                     0
joystick                  1

Joystick should be "1" not "0". If it's not change it and save the file.

I just installed the latest version of Mame32ui, and it is already set. However, I noticed you're using an older version, so it might not be set in 106.

D_Harris:
As you can see in the image above it is already a text file.

And in the image below, where is says "Windows UI specific interface options", I change joygui from 0 to 1, but it didn't seem to do anything at all when I started a game of Ms. Pac-man. I could still use the keyboard, but not the game pad.

BTW. Any recommendation for a forum for asking MAME specific questions? (MARP is dead).

Thanks.

Sorry I wasn't more specific. The mame32ui.ini file only controls configuration of the gui not mame itself (mame32 is just an add-on to mame). You need to edit the mame.ini file located here: C:\Documents and Settings\Admin\Desktop\Mame\MAME 106

Thanks. That worked.

By changing 0 to 1 I now have joystick input with the keyboard, USB arcade controller, or the SideWinder.

The only thing left is figuring out if there is a game port to USB adaptor that works with the game port SideWinder. (That and figuring out how to get past the "Factory Settings Restored" screen when I attempt to load StarGate).

Thanks.
