newbie problems with configuring usb gamepad
hey there, so i've got this gamepad, worked fine on resident evil pc version a few weeks ago (i don't have it installed anymore)
now i tried to configure it to play super mario (game works fine on keyboard) but nothing happens?!
problem is that i am not really that much in computer games so i don't know much about emulators and stuff...
the gamepad is recognized when i go to control panel/game controllers (when plugging in out it appears/disappears) aldough when i go to properties i cant do anything there (should i even be able to??)
if someone knows the answers for my problems feel free to post
and last, sorry for spelling and grammatic, english ain't my language

of course,
question by the way: should i be able to do anything here?
like i said the controller is being recognized when plugging in and out but on this menu i cant do nothing on any of the 3 tabs, is that supposed to be so?
and do i maybe need some addionional plug-ins add-on's for zsnes or something? like i said, i'm not really that much in the gaming scene just want to play super mario with a gamepad [/img]

and is there any way to make it work? like i said i used it a few weeks ago for a pc game and it worked, since than it was unused till i tried to get it work for super mario. It is recognized when plugged in and i can switch the red light via the mode button (the one that on a ps gamepad the analog button is)
also tried the troubleshoot function but that was useless...

Sounds broken to me.

If the Windows control panel isn't responding to input, the problem is DEFINITELY not in ZSNES.

Re: newbie problems with configuring usb gamepad
i know this is old but i'm now having this same problem, my Snes game pad is plugged in, i have one of those where it's a classic controller and you plug it into the USB adapter with 2 game pad slots, i've tried everything... all zsnes wants to recognize is my keyboard, now my PC and laptop both pick up on my controller just fine, i'm using it through a usb hub and running zsnes off my external drive, this isn't causing the issues because i cut and pasted the files onto my laptops deskptop, took out the USB hub with the external drive in it, plugged my game controller directly into the USB port of my laptop, i followed the troubleshooting and it says to plug out any devices that may be using up too much power because some may need more power bla.. bla... usual standard stuff... i rebooted too.
Still i cannot configure the keys... i do the right things and go into Input and Set Keys, nothing happens when i press my controllers buttons, but yet it keeps wanting to pick up on my keyboard, pressing the keyboard keys works fine... i don't know what else to do, but it worked the last time i used it, my system says my controller and the adapter are working properly so it's not that... it doesn't need drivers ether, i've never needed them.
