How to configure controls on multiple sticks

[Stub]

Am I missing anything? Is there a way to configure the stick 1 for normal operations and have stick 2 perform alpha scrolling?

Using the setup wizard youcan re-define your keys under input settings. Hope this helps

I think what he wants is to use the d-pad and analog sticks work for different tasks. I think the best way to do that would be with either a script or with XPadder. I assume you want to just move the stick to perform the paging rather than holding a button to do it. Correct? GameEx isn't set up to do that, so it will require a little tinkering to get it to work. If you need some help, post exactly what you are trying to do and someone will try to help!

XPadder? I have not heard of it, can you post a link?

I want the first joystick to perform as normal, stick 2 I want to page as if you were holding down the page button.

I dont like button combo operations. Simple is better, less I have to explain to people.

The fact that you didn't Google 'xpadder' or type xpadder.com into a browser before asking for a link leads me believe that you indeed like things simple.

As kenobi says GameEx requires that you press a modifier key to trigger alpha paging. You'd somehow have to rig up your second controller so that when the joystick was moved up or down it would trigger the alpha key + movement. Xpadder will do this. IMO it seems like a long way to go to avoid pressing a button while you scroll. Is it really THAT much simpler? We're talking one button here.

Tom, it may be nice if GameEx had a tick box pref for alpha paging to be 'always on'.

Don't they all? LOL. Funny some of the questions we see here. People just want everything and I mean everything done for them!

Not sure I understand, Alpha paging on should be default setting?

[bkenobi]

No, I think he means a check box for the alpha paging button function to be on all the time. meaning that if you press left or right it will automatically go to the next letter without having to hold the alpha/paging button. This would make it impossible to go to the filter selection box (year, category, manufacturer, etc.), though.

I personally think the best method would be to set up P2 joystick would be to send the alpha/paging button and the direction. This is really easy to do in XPadder, so I don't see why it's not worth the effort. BTW, P2 controls require mapping anyway unless they are a separate joystick due to how GameEx works.
