I hardly ever have questions, so this might be a hard one.
I have tried a lot of gamepads or joysticks with ePSXe, and two of them have problems.
The first one is a generic 8 button gameport gamepad. Mostly it works fine, however, every once in a while it suddenly acts crazy as if the d-pad is pressed randomly. i.e. if I'm in some kinda menu the selection will be jumping around the screen.
I switched to a Gravis Gamepad Pro so I didn't worry about that anymore for a while.
The 2nd controller that has a problem is a Gravis Blackhawk Digital. It is a digital gameport device; the gameport is not read in the traditional way. What happens is the buttons will be pressed randomly in ePSXe. This can be very annoying: for example, in Gran Turismo while I'm in 3rd gear, the reverse button would be pressed momentarily, throwing me back to 1st
I figured this new problem might be somehow related to the previous problem I had with the 8 button gamepad. Perhaps ePSXe somehow messed up the gameport's operation, causing these momentary problems.
However, not all my gameport devices had the same problem. For instance the Gamepad Pro worked perfectly.
Also of note is those two devices are working perfectly under normal circumstances; they both work with other games and emulators (in bleem! for example).
I hope this is not a bug, and is just some config problems I have, then someone here might be able to help, but I doubt it. If it's a bug I hope the ePSXe team can look into it.
My gameport is on a SB Live! Value.
