Gamepad - buttons work but d-pad doesn't - Prizm - 12-19-2009

hi guys,

I've got everything up and running with Dolphin, and I've been trying to configure my Sidewinder gamepad. It's detected in the Wiimote settings and I can see the dot move around in the analog area where you test up/down/left/right.

I've configured the individual buttons, but when I load up Mario Bros Wii, my d-pad doesn't work. The buttons however, work in the game exactly as I programmed them.

How do I enable the d-pad? I have already ticked the option for "sideways wiimote" and I don't know what else to do.

thanks

Set up respective setting where you set A, B, +, - and other buttons, not where you set analogs and see moving dots (it's for tilt and swing movements)

I have set up the buttons. They work fine. The d-pad does not. If I click the button to configure LEFT and push left on the d-pad, it does not get detected. However the dot in the analog area goes left, so to some extent Dolphin knows the Sidewinder is there. It just won't let me configure up/down/left/right.

I had the same trouble Sad

But! XPadder fixed it for me! I just map the d-pad on my sidewinder to the arrow keys on the keboard et voila!

Hope this helps
