-don't use the front end, or try another -they can be buggy. otherwise......

....after you config the pad, try exporting the registry key -then just click on the registry export to reload it before you play. this is also a good way to save mutli-pad configs.
in XP it is here [if not do a registry search for epsxe]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\epsxe\config]

watch these values change when you config or close epsxe [may need to export before or after closing -in XP you can close 1st]:

"Pad1"="257,256,etc.................,281,280,36,37 "

indeed one of the frontends is unable to save custom configs, it will keep reverting to the defaults no matter what you try. i cant remember which one it is though because i dont really use them often.

if you want to be sure, i suggest that you test out your custom config without a frontend in use, if your config does not reset then that would give you a pretty good idea of where your problem is coming from.
