Just thought I'd add a bit more to that (Thanks for providing him with help, though cottonvibes. You're exactly right on what he needs to do, but thought I'd give a bit more info, if anyone's interested). D-pads actually only provide a single value, which is a direction.

Most of the other plugins divide it into 4 separate values (up, left, right, down) and make it act like they're different controls. This is very flexible arrangement, but it's not what LilyPad does. LilyPad instead binds one direction (left/right or up/down) of the pov control to the a single PS2 axis. If the there's an axis perpendicular to that axis (As is the case with the PS2 d-pad and analog sticks), the pov control's other direction is automatically bound to it. This isn't quite as flexible, but for almost all situations, it works just as well. The reason for the difference is that my configuration stuff just binds a single button/control to one (Or more) PS2 buttons, so I'd have to do a fair bit of reorganizing to use the other more general approach.

In short, just click the "vert axis" button and press up or down or the "horizontal axis" button and press right or left. Don't have to do both, though it doesn't hurt (They should be merged into a single bind, I believe, even with multiple binds enabled).
