Re: Can't get controller to work.

I have no idea why there's two settings. And after further tinkering I don't think that was the problem.

Logitech has a program called Logitech Profiler, if it's off my controller works on RU

Re: Can't get controller to work.

I'm having a similar issue as Jack Bando. USB Saturn pad. works fine in 'Set up USB game controllers', works in windows/other programs with joy2key, but in retrouprising it won't work at all

---------- Post added at 01:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 AM ----------

can't see where to edit my post but wanted to say that i tried default emu with same USB controller on my netbook and everything worked fine (didn't even need to use joy2key)

Re: Can't get controller to work.

So did you get it fixed? If not, what system and play mode are you trying.

You should only need a program like Joy2Key here if you are playing in Flash or Java.

Re: Can't get controller to work.

Is Windows recognizing it? Go to control panel. Devices and Printers. Right click the controller. Go to settings. Then properties. Then test the controller.

If it works there then what system and play mode are you trying?

Re: Can't get controller to work.

Plug controller in.
Wait 10 seconds. 1 second should be plenty but wait 10 to be sure.
Click the Score Mode link.
After game starts press Tab key.
In menu change inputs using the control pad.

Re: Can't get controller to work.

I did figure something out for controller issues. If you have another client of mame open, you cannot use a joystick. I was messing around with a newer client and I didn't close it, then I loaded up RU and my controller didn't work. I was like wtf, it was just working in mame. Then I figured out that if you have another session that is actively using the controller, it binds to that client.

Re: Can't get controller to work.

Glad you figured it out. That is an example of something that would be extremely difficult to troubleshoot online but easy to figure out with Team Viewer.

Re: Can't get controller to work.

Yea it drove me crazy for about 10 minutes. I was playing on wolfmame then loaded RU and then I had a dead joystick. Opened and closed the ru window like 10 times, and closed the browser and cleared cache. Then I finally closed mame and loaded up ru again and it worked.
