GP Wiz 40, Player 1 and all buttons work great in HS but not player two
RandyT:
Or JoyToKey, or RBjoy, which are free. You should only use these types of converter applications when the main application doesn't have full joystick support built in. They shouldn't be used with applications like MAME, or others which will work fine without them.

so wait, they should not be used with mame? thats the point of my machine.
What about Maximus arcade, does that front end have that kind of support?
I have P1 and P2 Start and Coin set up too, i wish i had known that HS does not have that kind of support

You misunderstand. The GP-Wiz works excellent with MAME, and pretty much everything else. It's only an oddball application here and there with limited gamepad/joystick support which requires the extra converter applications. Those extra applications shouldn't be activated when using an app with proper gamepad/joystick support, as they properly interact with the hardware natively.

I understand your point there, but when i start a game from HS that uses mame, should the mame control config take over and see the p1 and p2 gp wiz set up? because its not, and its kinda frustrating

This is from the MAME documentation;
--- Quote ----[no]joystick / -[no]joy
Controls whether or not MAME makes use of joystick/gamepad controllers.
When this is enabled, MAME will ask DirectInput about which
controllers are connected. The default is OFF (-nojoystick).

Do you have it enabled? If not, it needs to be.
