In the ctrlr folder there is a file named default.ini. Look for the joystick parameter and change it from 0 to 1. You may also want to slow down your scrolling using the mouse_x_sensitivity and mouse_y_sensitivity. Try abour 250.

Good Luck,
John

Is it a PC joystick, or arcade joystick via keyboard encoder?

[simmonz]

its a arcade joystick from real cabnet converted and via sound card joystick port!
it registers in windows calibrate and works on games but not in mamewah menu ??
im stumpted

[simmonz]

i dont no how to map them i think also need examples or someting before i have no hair left WAH!

also pluged in my logitech usb joystick and it works perfectly... WAH!

[Minwah]

Probably the joystick number...check in control panel for the order of the game controllers.  First in the list should be JOY1 etc...

If you only have 1 joystick plugged in I don't know tho...

Edit: if all else fails, there's always JoyToKey: http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA016823/joytokey/english.html

Try it with joy1_x_analog 0 and joy1_y_analog 0 (if you haven't already).
