Gamepad - Direct Input Problems

mburgoon · 2007-05-02, 17:48

MediaPortal Version: 0.2.2.0
Windows Version: XP

I use an XBOX gamepad as the direct input device to control MP. I also use the My Emulator plugin, with ZSNES and Project 64.

I want to use the same gamepad to control MP and the particular emulators. However when I execute a rom from MP, with either ZSNES or Project, the rom starts up fine except the gamepad is still focused on MP and not the emulator.

When I press the buttons I can hear the sound effects from MP... but nothing happens on the game.

I am using MP version 0.2.2.0, I run both MP and the emulators in fullscreen.

Any ideas on how to get the focus of the gamepad to change to the emulator?

Same problem here, with one exeption. Both apps respond to the gamepad input.

I tried minimizing MP when i started a game, but MP still responds to the gamepad input.
