@Pirat Is this the same as this other question you posted?

The screenshot you posted above relates to using joystick/gamepad input to navigate within the GameEx menus. Note that it does not affect the control mapping that takes place within each emulator.

Setting up these controls is easy. All you need to do is click the configuration button for the control (ie the '. . .' button). A window will pop up asking you to press a button. So, press a button or direction on a joystick. GameEx will record it and will place the mapping in the space of the GameEx setup.

If you have the 'Enable Custom Joystick Controls' setting, that means the button assignments in this section will be saved to the custominput.ini file within the CONFIG directory. If you want to reuse your custominput.ini file, you can do so by opening the Setup Wizard to confirm that the 'Enable Custom Joystick Controls' is already set to YES. Then close the Setup Wizard and replace the current custominput.ini with the backup you already have. The next time you open the Setup Wizard, you should see the settings from your custominput.ini file.

You are welcome...

But, I would also appreciate it if you could let me know if this thread is a double post of this other thread.

He has been back a few times with no response. I would either combine and lock or lock both at this point  - my 2 cents.

@Draco1962  Agreed looks like a double post and he cant be bothered to say if this issue is resolved.

[RedDog]

We will assume this one has been resolved then.
