Direct Input (1 Viewer)

[Yodar]

Hi,

I have a question concerning direct input.
I realy like this option but i have one problem. The problem is when I plug my ps2 joystick converter/adapter in the usb thing, I can select my 4 axis device and stuff. But when im done using the joystick I remove the adapter from the computer usb. Now, next time I put the adapter in again ill have to go to the setup again and have to select the 4 axis device again and configure the kill buttons. Is there a solution which make the device perment the direct input device w/o being bothered when the device is removed?

Hope some1 can help! thx!

I'm pretty sure it used to work the way you want, but unfortunately with RC3 the direct input device function isn't working properly.

I haven't used it fir a while for this reason, so someone please correct me if I am wrong

hmmm i hope your wrong but im afraid not.

lets pray some1 will look at this.
While im here anyway lemme ask a second question, Since that direct input kill application wount work for me (im not going te setup the device everytime!) is there a other nice way to exit a emulator or program. alt f4 fuckes all up!

Another strange thing is, I use grinder and some x10 remote control. I have ESCAPE mapped at 1 button which works good in media portal. The strange thing is that some application i can exit by pressing escape on my keyboard, But when i press the escape remote button nothing happens?

I guess it depends on the emulator. I only use Mame and for that it's just a matter of hitting esc and you are back in MP.
I guess others don't work this way?
With any of the MyPrograms features, I thought that as soon as the external program finished then you wee back in MP.

its a bit strange. when i normaly run a application and press alt f4 i get back te desktop. When i run MP and alt f4, the whole think keeps showing a blackscreen an nothing else happens anymore

Well, ill start reading some other topics about nice exit ways and see if I can find something.
