I’m having a weird problem when I’m trying to use joysticks with PCAE. When I’m on the interfaces -> configure -> controller tab to map the joystick the program ready identify the joystick connected, it is confirmed by the displacements of the red dots corresponding to the X and Y axes movements and by the appearing of the red dot when the fire button is pressed. Also the mapping is confirmed when the mouse pointer is positioned over the analog axis 1 and 2 with the corresponding joy left/right/up/down lines highlighted on the joystick column. The program also save the state after the OK button is pressed since when I return to this feature on the program all things work fine there, however when I start the emulation the joystick doesn’t work! I’m using one original Atari joystick and to make it works I build the Atari to PC joystick adapter from Tony Engdahl that allows connect the Atari digital joystick on the PC game port. The circuit works fine with other emulators like MAME, Stella and Z26. I also try to use the Ppjoy program and build the interfaces Directpad and TheMaze and again the same problem happen. Can anyone help me? I like so much use the PCAE because its nice user interface and also it allows the user choose the FPS to slow the emulation on faster computers. I was not able to found this feature on Stella and Z26.
