Good shout.... the usb joysticks work, did have two other usb gamepads but can only find one and that doesnt work either. Tested within an emulator and all good. Went to config and selected the input for gameex to the controlpad which is listed and still doesnt work. Found the other joypad, and that shows up in the input config, selected and nothing. Strangely gone through the process as i have, and gone into an emu, CD32 played a quicky exited it, went back into config in gameex, noticed that no input devices was selected... hmm! anyway selected usb joystick/gamepad and that has started to work. I dont have time at the moment to go through everything, so i will as soon as i have got some spare time. It could be that it wasnt saving setting when i specifically set the input to that device, this time i selected it to "any device" and it worked. So going to have a play around, now i have noticed that. Before, default, was any device. so will let you know when i can.

sorry.. it doesnt work at all now in gameex, it works in all emus i have tried launching from gameex. Initially i thought windows 11 had gone bad so did a virgin instal and still the same problem. It no longers does anything in gameex for some reason.

there is not switch, its an Xbox controller, as i said before it works from within the emulators, so i can launch an emu from gameex but you no longer can use the controlled to move around in gameex for some reason. They do time out if left untouched for quite some time.

Okey... virgin install of windows 11 pro last night. Pretty well basic, and again blue tooth working within the emulators and within windows itself but nothing on gameex. Is there anywhere i can download an early version of gameex and test those out? Or is microsoft, being microsoft, and depreciating stuff again? So it could be the last "update" they did, buggered up something.

thanks. ok, so new cpu is a good enough excuse to do a virgin reinstall. You got to love windoze.

Here's a weird one. I was using gameex last week with a bluetooth joypad, absolutely no problem at all. Today i change the processor and now the BT joypad wont work in gameex. BUT, it works in windoze and in all the emulators, but NOT gameex. Is there a setting i have accidentally changed and dont know about. I have rebooted so many times, deleted the BT device, as you do, to reinstall it. Reinstalled gameex and still nothing. Checked the settings that i know of and it set to allow joystick controllers. So has anyone else had the same problem? or have a clue why?

i've had a few issues with the arcade machine i have the software on, so lost everything due to hard drive failure, am still working on it. its not my priority so hence the delay. Story of my life at the moment.

Ok, before i get bomberded with "search" comments, i have done it, and after 2 friggin days, i still havent found the answer. Plenty of pointing in direction of which doesnt have the answer. And yes i know it exists, because i have come across and used it before. This time gameex in the advanced emulation setup, where everyone points to, [mapping off] there is no option to those mentioned, and i have been through everyone and it makes no difference, when in the emulator, in this case winuae, when i select esc to exit back to the game selection screen, it exits back to gameex. I know i have found the solution before, but it seems to have vanished, and i dont want to continue ploughing through lots of "this is the solutions" to find it doesnt exist. So can anyone tell me how to disable the esc when i run an emulator, to that if i press esc in that emulator it doesnt go back to gameex and allows the emulator to do what it suppose to do. I had a drive crash and so lost my config files and so am having to do them all over again, i think i also came across this on a snes emulator as well in the past. i know there was a setting in advance setup, but cannot see it anymore, i have the latest version of gameex.
