What can i say but your da man Orclord.. Thanks a ton..

yeap that was the easiest way to get her going XPADDER and then GameEX.. i just wish i had the money to get past that screen on startup. I will probably just end up frontending it with MAME32. Thanks all for the great fast help

finally got it.. thanks all. i just had to click on the boxes and enter what it would be.. duh.. thanks again

Thats the wierd thing is that i cant configure the analog stick seeing i didnt map that. i hope these controllers will work. that xpadder is wierd to use and im probably not doing it right or the driver that microsoft installed for me for these joysticks are defaulting it to analog.. anyone have this problem? or is it just me?

Well i tried to change it using xpadder and also trying to figure out how to configure the d-pad to work with mame32 frontend with no luck still. I can see how i map them in xpadder but i guess it just defaults to analog sticks to select up and down. hmmm.. still trying

cool. ill try the xpadder.. brian can you shoot me a link to the harddrive/mouse hack? im interested in learning about it., Thanks so much for all of your helps. cheers

Yeah it sucks that im cheap. It has a button thats labeled game and set. Does that sound like it? I flipped them without rebooting or anything and just wondered..

I have entered in there -all devices- and -axis pad- and neither select anything. i did have analog sticks with these controllers that i hacked off which controlled up and down in mame, so im wired through my d-pad now and dont get up and down or any of it.. any suggestions.. thanks again for the help

Ok the buttons are mapped and i will enter them in, however i dont get how i can program in up and down left and right in gameex because windows doesnt explain what number they are.. thanks for all of your help.. you saved the day for sure..

Sorry.. damn i feel the n00bness vibrating off of me.. where is the control panel located? its not in gameex file Thanks

gotcha.. how would i know the number of each button? I saw that and dont have a clue how to alter it. Please advise. Thanks for the quick responce

Hello all. Im trying to configure my usb joysticks to gameex and have no luck so far. is there an easy option im just overlooking or can someone show me how to configure it manually or link me to more info. I have gotten one button to work but the joystick wont up and down through the games and i cant wait to get it working right. THanks all
