Emulator

Confirmed, replaced SDL.dll with the 1.3 SDL and it worked normally again..

Yeah, we've been having tons of problems with the SDL lately...

what gamepad do you use Migs351?

Magic Joy Box Xbox/GC/PS2 adapter with a Real GC controller.

I think these issues are gamepad specific, sdl 1.2 works great with my logitech
dualaction, but the axis are reversed with sdl 1.3. imho sdl 1.2 works well with more
gamepads than 1.3

I'm having the same issue with 3089 left trigger axis doesn't gets detected with my
Gamecube to USB gamepad, according to the registry I have this axis, 0,1 (X,Y) and so on

found is that the njoy plugin doesn't detects some triggers axis, for example when I
entered to registry I've found that my gamepad has this axis, 0 1 and the others are
2, 5 and 6, 7 which axis 6 is left trigger so by some how this plugin doesn't detects
that axis.

does renaming SDL.dll to blabla.dll and renamind SDL.1.3.dll to SDL.dll fix the issue ?

I can confirm this issue too. I just compiled r3261 and tried playing Mario kart Wii,
got ingame, tried pressing the L triger and didn't work...
I tried all my 4 controllers, 2 logitech, 1 saitek and 1 ps2 controller w/ usb
adapter, and all got the same result. Also tried swapping the emulated triggers (L1
for R1) in njoy, and still didn't work. I will try replacing the SDL.dll with 1.3
like mentioned above.

and brianbthompson, did the swapping worked? >_>

Yes, renaming SDL.dll to SDL_old.dll and SDL.1.3.dll to just plain SDL.dll
does temporarily fix the problem. With that being said however, you will need to
reconfigure all njoy controllers or keyboards. Whatever you are using for input. Like
as said above if you do not, the axis's will be reversed and other buttons will be
screwed up. Easiest way is just to redo all the settings.

Wasn't this fixed by downgrading sdl?

you mean broken ? :/
basically we have some problems with both SDL 1.2 and SDL 1.3 ...

by the way my gamepad has sliders so to use ltrigger or rtrigger in joy2key I have to
use sliders, so probably nJoy needs to detect sliders as too.

Issue 1268 has been merged into this issue.
