I don't know what is your problem? Take a look to the snapshot I've just attached!

I wanna use my joystick(in this case, it's a hori ps3 arcade stick) to move around the Mala screen and select games. I can't seem to configure Mala to use my joystick.

I already tried mapping, 1 up, 1 down, etc etc, manually but still has no chance.

Turns out the only one that I couldn't get to work is the d-pad. Buttons work fine. Am I doing something wrong here?

Yeah, dpad moves in gamepad properties. Dpat works as POV.
