Same problem here. I can select keyboard keys for FPSE, but how to assign this keyboard keys to gamepad. I try many times with Posedion but without luck.
Sorry but don't understand all this Posedion game-pad options (Push-left, Release-left?, Abs-Rel?, Clip Size? and others ..........).
MAME is so easy to configure, without Posedion. Just hit TAB key in MAME and move gamepad for selected command or button.

@xyphoid:
You first have to assign keys to buttons via Poseidon, then, within FPSE GUI, configure joykey.dll simply pressing desired button on the pad when asked to (i.e. press "Change" and then the button).
If your controllers are already configured for mame (in Poseidon I assume), you should have no problems.
I have one key mapping for pad1 and one for pad2 and I use them in mame, FPSE, snes9x and so on...

If that's not the case, maybe I didn't get the point.

@Condor:
I guess your problem is the opposite: you can't map keys to buttons, isn't it?
The hardest part in Poseidon config is guessing how X and Y axis work: there is a sort of threshold when the directional pad is in "rest" position and a max value when it's pushed all the way in a direction and a min one when its pushed at its opposite.
For the buttons, you have to set a keypress event and a release event, otherwise the mapped key will always result pressed.
I swear I don't speak a single french word, but I managed to figure it out following the guide I posted

With a little help from Google, that is...

Hope I helped somehow,

@Mi-Go

There's no need to use such keyboard mapping for MAME and snes9x, since they have proper lowlevel.library support.

It's only needed for FPSE that doesn't support it.

I still am unable to select the buttons on fpse config
And before I could move using joypad, but now nothing.
This is why I'm with magnetic on installers! If you try to follow config scripts and mess up, your out of luck...

Yes, this is my problem. I try with keypress event for x button, and get very strange output, sometimes FPSE dont register x button, but sometimes after I release button x, FPSE write on the screen X,X,X,X,X,X.....??????. For now I will play games with keyboard (just finished awesome Dino Crisis 2. ).

@Fab

Nice to hear.
I guess in my case direct pad mapping is bypassed because of Poseidon mapping (=MAME sees pad events as keyboard ones).
I'll try to mess around with configs then

@Condor:

You have to set a keypress event for button X, then duplicate it and change it into a keyrelease. Don't forget to check the box at the bottom of the key selection.

Later I'll post some screenshots.

@Condor:
Here is the typical key up event you need to tell the system that the key is not pressed anymore...

Key down is identical except for the trigger gadget and the checkbox.

I realized since I upgraded to 2.6 FPSE no more accepts any L1 key assignment (with or without the pad). Even a full FPSE reinstall didn't help.
Anyone with the same problem?
