That's strange, i could post exactly the same input shot. My Logitech Dual Action works fine here. Maybe you should post the log files too.

A screenshot from the game & i/o ports would be good as well.

Switch port 0 to mouse.

s2325 · 30 April 2007, 20:12

Port 0 is for mouse if I remember correctly.

Belgarath · 30 April 2007, 20:28

Heh, exactly what I thought I'd see

Yeh, port0 is usually for mouse, port1 for joystick. A few games use port1 but it's very few.

Yes, use Scanlines.

Just have a look at the filter options and experiment until you find one you like.
Of course if you use scanlines you are a minion of the evil one! (aka DamienD)

It's preferable to run the emulator at the native resolution of your LCD screen. Otherwise you'll be adding another layer of blur to the emulators graphics output, caused by the LCD's built-in image scaling/stretching.
