Gravis Gamepad prob?

1 replies · 966 views · Started 15 August 2004

I have an older Gravis 4 button controller. It works in Zelda, but only the first two buttons are usable, (for A and B buttons). The third and fourth buttons don't do anything, (supposedly for Start and Pause). I must use the the <space>bar and Enter to access these options, (which is quite annoying when rapidly changing equipment\items).

The joysticks buttons (all four) play fine in other hames. I have tried setting up the controller as Standard 4 Button and Gravis in Contol Panel, with no change in the game. In the Zelda Games, it is set up as 4 buttons, but will not recognize the third and fourth button as changeable.

Please help... I need all four buttons to work!!!

(by the way, I am playing the "vargen.qst". Great quest so far.)

It depends on what Windows Version you are using. I was having trouble with the same paddle until I plugged in my Microsoft Sidewinder. Worked wonders. The problem was in XP...but with the newest service pack, maybe things have changed. Won't know until I get my laptop back tomorrow
