Joystick not Working upon first run

[sleizure]

Hello there! Evaluating GameEx after becoming tired of another menuing system. Looks great so far!

I run a triple Sidewinder Gamepad configuration and while GameEx does indeed work the joystick, it only works AFTER i launch a game in MAME and exit out. Quite frustrating as I dont necessarily have a keyboard handy for my cabinet. Is there a way to send a reset to the gameport to init it so that it works right when my system boots up?

Run your GameEx Setup Wizard, select Input Options. Enable All Attached Devices should be set to yes. You can map the keys from there.

Sorry, it DOES work without issue after I load the first game, and exit out. It does not work until I load a game through a keyboard first. Minor inconvenience.
