Microsoft Gaming Pad Configured-Doesn't work in Game!

11-19-2016, 07:23 AM #1

Hello All,

Usually I've been fortunate enough to read other's questions and solutions on forums without having to post mine myself; however after about an hour of forum scouring I can't find an answer. I'm using Dolphin 5.0 and it recognizes my Microsoft Gamepad and was even pre-mapped in the configuration so I didn't have to do it manually. Well I load up Mario Party 9 and to start it say press A+B. Well I do that and nothing. I ran an N64 emulation to see if there was something conflicting or if the controllers weren't working, etc. N64 emulator worked. [Image: ChChH]

I've never had any problems with the same controllers in previous versions of dolphin.

Any help is greatly appreciated in advance; thank you. [Image: ChChH]

Can you post a screenshot of the controller configuration?

The insert image link didn't work so I just posted the URL to post image.

I even made sure it recognized by manually mapping it.

You need to configure a Wii Remote. Mario Party 9 can't make use of GameCube controllers, so configuring one of those has no effect.

Wow, haha. I feel dumb. It worked! I guess I didn't really think of a mario party game as using/needing a wii-mote input configuration. Wow. Thanks so much.
