Controller Frustration

I need some help! I have the latest WinUAE. I have also some USB controllers. When I configure them, and save to default configuration, when I reload WinUAE the default input is back to Windows Mouse.

I reload my config, but when I start emulating, the games do not recognise my controller. The cd32 I'm emulating does, though if no game 'inserted'.

Anyone know where I'm going wrong? Whole system will soon be in the bin, head and wall already come together repeatedly over this.

Thanks to anyone who can help...

First try latest 3.3 beta (see sticky thread in this forum), gameports panel input device handling has been changed heavily internally.

Attach your config file if it still does not work.

Hi, thsnks - no luck with 3.3 beta.

Any suggestions? Sorry I'm new to Amiga emulation as you can tell!

Config is from 3.2.2.

You do use Game Ports panel to configure it? Not Input panel? Input panel can be very confusing (device selected does not equal device listed) and you don't really need it unless you need complex custom remapping.

I tried using game ports, it seems to remember the key presses, although when you test, there's a non-response every other press. Should be working ok because the cd22 with no game in acknowledges the buttons. Or at least some of them. But in games - nothing!

If I just wanted to use the keyboard I might be ok, but want to use joy pads.

Do you mean Test mode? It is by design.

press. Should be working ok because the cd22 with no game in acknowledges the buttons. Or at least some of them. But in games - nothing!

This does not sound like wrong configuration but something to do with the game. Which games? Correct port?

If I just wanted to use the keyboard I might be ok, but want to use joy pads.

Game Ports panel should work exact same with keyboards and joysticks.

--

- Make sure Input panel is in GamePorts mode (not Configuration #1-3).
- Select your joystick from game ports panel joystick select menu.
- Boot to game, does it work?
- Select pre-defined keyboard layout (preferably A if you have numpad in your keyboard). Does same game work?

Does some confirmed working A500 game (in A500 config) work with same config? Less unknown variables.
