Trouble with controls

meanmachine666 · April 18th, 2002, 23:55

When trying to play Walt Disney's Magical Racing Tour I just can't get one of the controls working: LEFT. All works well, exept the left-button. It doesn't work with my sidewinder or with the keyboard! I've tried all options, I think...
Other games work perfect, although I can get Gran Turismo only working by keyboard, not through the sidewinder!
Config:
Pete's DX6 D3D Driver 1.60
ePSXe SPU core 1.5.0.
ePSXe CDR WNT/W2K core 1.5.1.

Try hitting F4/F5. Worked for me!

Thanks, RomCrazy! It worked for Gran Turismo. But the Magical Racing Tour remains odd: EVERYTHING works well, exept the LEFT control (keyboard OR pad). It's very awkward for a racing game! Any other good idea's? Could it be game-specific? Any patches anyone knows of?

The same thing happens in silent hill, and trust me, this is one game you don't want to have to worry about controller problems. Whenever I try to do a run+forward+right, the game simply won't respond and I get a warning beep from my computer. Yes, I've tried to push f4 but this option apparently disables all controller input. Now I know that my computer/keyboard can accept more than three input at a time, because I can do a run+forward+left in this game, so this has to be some kind of bug.

it's no bug, there are some combinations of 3 keys pressed that the keyboard let's you do ,but some dont, like for example you can press ''A,N,E" and it works but if you press "A,N,R" it beeps.
its that simple

No, it's not that simple I'm afraid. You obviously don't know what you're saying. Besides, how do you know which keyboard keys I assigned to the corresponding PSX keys? You're just assuming that I have the same controller layout as you but I'm probably sure mine's completely different from yours.
