[RESOLVED] USB controller issues

[DerekSnoops]

Hi.

 

I wonder if anybody could help me. 

I've got GameEx installed and set up to play MAME. All the artwork and description are downloaded. However when I start a game, controller does not work. It workj fine through MAME itself, but when I go through GameEx, nothing happens. 

All I can do is scroll through options (so the analog stick works), confirm or exit (so two buttons are working too). I can confirm game selection and the game starts to play, but no buttons are working at that point. 

 

I tried different controllers via USB, XBox One, 8 Bit Do and arcade stick, but the same issue persist.

I tried to look through some forums, but so far I'm drawing blank. 

Thanks in adavance.

Have you tried launching a game and hitting Tab and assigning your inputs within the game?

[DerekSnoops]

Yes I did.

 

Tab key does not work either.

Works fine through MAME, but not if launched through GameEx. Actually none of keyboard keys work either.

Please attach copies of your gameex.ini and log.txt files (no copy and paste). 

Knowing what controller you are using may help as well.

Just tried to copy the log files when I thought I'll try again. Don't even know how, but it miraculously worked this time.  I've managed to  map the controls, restarted my PC and it works a treat. ( I almost downloaded GameEx Evolution hoping that different version might work). 

 

Thanks for your help, I'll go enjoy some 90's beatem'up now :-)
