So what exactly is POV Joystick support. I thought it meant I could use the D-Pad on the menus using my gamepad (Wired Xbox 360 Controller), since that's how Windows recognizes my D-Pad (POV), but it was not so. Also, I noticed that now the menus loop from top to bottom and vice versa but when I went into the "Advanced Settings" proggie, it actually was disabled. I wanted to remove the feature since I'm already so used to it stopping at the end, especially when exiting GameEx, but couldn't.

Excellent job on this feature filled Front-End though. I'm really impressed with how much it has improved.

Menu looping is off by default.

This will make setting up GameEx very user friendly! Thanks

To use POV joystick input, go into the Setup Wizard select Custom->Joystick Input. From there you can press the "..." buttons and press your POV controller.

The loop always turned on was a bug. If you go ahead and download the same version of GameEx again its fixed. I didnt do a new release number just for that but it is fixed.
