Using A Usb Joypad Through The Bob

[Miknal]

Just a quick question, when i'm using a usb joypad through the bob, it works on the gp2x menu, but not with any games, are they just not compatible, or am I missing something blindingly obvious, like something in the menu that needs to be turned on?

A lot of emulators and games read the built in joystick hardware register directly. They will need fixing to allow using a USB stick.

The joypad i'm using is fairly standard in layout (four buttons in a diagonal shape, shoulder pads, and a dpad) so fixing it shouldn't be an issue, I don't think. How do I do this?

rewrite some of the game's code and compile a new version.

I wonder if the hardware regs can be set to ouput mode. Then it might be possible to set them based on the USB device state. Or it might break

For example, puck2099 has made a version of beat2x with support for usb gamepads and dance mats, so you can play beat2x with a dance mat and see it on your TV.
You can grab it at www.gp32spain.com

Uh huh, I was hoping more fore a download or something to click on in the menu, I know nothing of coding o-O

Ahh well, any chance of someone making a joypad compatible megadrive/snes emulator in the future? I want four player mario kart again dammit
