any help appreciated

Once you configure the buttons your good to go. Make sure the controller is enabled where you configure it, maybe you uncheck it by accident.

gamepad is enabled but cant configure it. its showing each button in yellow but cant change to set them. i mean it shows the word UP in yellow but cant assign up button to it

Ok lots could be the issue then. Go in to the controller panel and find the game controller test app. Will look close to this.


See if the controller is even working int he OS.

sorry not sega, controller works with epsx
tried my ps2 controller via usb adaptor and thats same, cant config it

Try to put your controller in digital mode. The LED should be off. Some adapters let you do this, others do not. Once its off try to config them.

cant turn led of on adaptor, led of on joypad

[ulaoulao]

Not sure what that meant? Though yes I meant the led on the controller. If you can not turn it off, this may be the issue. What sometimes happens is snes9x can not see your button pressing because the analogs are making tiny movements. To fix this you have 4 options.

1) get a better adapter, that lets you turn off the red LED.
2) Use another controller.
3) use a mapper app, like xpadder.
4) Using another snes emulator.
