      lol I hear ya. I'm not much help here I guess, I have a few different controllers and they all have worked fine with advmame 1.4 and 3.8/9. Did you also try using 1.4 when launching a rom instead of 3.9?

        I didn't. The specific game I was booting up doesn't work with any other core except AdvMAME .94

          ah ok.. I've never used .94 only 1.4 and 3.9 which both worked great. Which game are you trying?

            The .94 game was Exvania. I will try the other cores here in a bit.

              ok what I have for Exvania doesn't work with 3.9, but does with 1.4 and joystick works fine. Have you tried other roms and other cores like 3.9 to see. My goto is always to test Galaga :)

                Yeah I just tried Exvania on 1.4 again and didn't boot. I'm running the World rom. I just tried Crackdown on 3.9. Setup the controls. No difference. Except it does detect the Right D-pad button. So that must be connected to .94.

                      Where do I go from here? Do I repost later on? Take it to another forum?

                        @leitmotiv You can use the same topic, it's up to you if you want to use another forum or not - you might try the AdvanceMAME forums.
