How do I use the digital pad (D-pad) instead of the analog stick?

Just downloaded Zelda Classic for Windows.

Does anyone know how I can use my controller's digital pad? My controller seems to work fine, but I have to use the analog stick to move Link around. I see no way to customize up/down/left/right in the controller options.

Check to make sure your Dpad is calibrated, other than that, you may simply have to get one that doesn't have an analog stick. There's a USB NES controller that works perfectly for this sort of thing. It's what I use.

I advise using the SNES/SFC pad, as newer quests do use the additional buttons. A SNES/SFC pad gives you A, B, X, Y, R, L, Select, Start, U/D/L/R. The ZC buttons are: U/D/L/R/A/B/L/R/Ex1/Ex2/Ex3/Ex4/Start/Map. If you don't put the map button on your controller, you can map up to three Ex buttons on a SNES/SFC controller. With the NES pad, you can't even map L/R.

True, the SNES pad has those advantages, but it lacks the feel of the NES one.

What controller do you use? Most alalog gamepads (logitech, playstation) have an analog button on them you can toggle.

It is a Xbox 360 controller for Windows (not for the Console).

Every other game and emulator lets me customize up/down/left/right just like A/B/Select/Start. This one doesn't?

It SHOULD, though I'm not entirely sure it would fix your problem even if it did. It would still be nice to rule it out though.

It certainly would. The digital pad is interpreted as a "point-of-view hat" in the drivers.

Then it's VERY possible ZC wouldn't recognize it in the first place, which may also be why it is not working right now.

Sounds like an XInput issue. allegro runs off of older DirectX versions, and Microsoft changed the way POV works for XBox controllers. I haven't actually tested this at all since I don't own one, but it seems like a logical assumption.

The thing is, I know that some people use XBOX controllers with ZC, so I'm sure there is a solution to this. Hopefully one of those guys can chime in otherwise I'll have to investigate further into the issue.
