I have a ralphnet usb to 9 pin adapter and it is recognized under Poseidon stack as a hid and when i go to settings its there but how do i configure the stack so i can use the joystick under games and emulators.
I have been trying for ages but cant seem to get it to do anything in i.e. e-uae.
i have it set as joy1 and now i am lost.

You must setup the config in the action part.
First do the fire button..that one is easiest to do.
For the 4 directions you have to set up the range in which the action must take place...

in the action part:-

1, Pointer(GamePad), 2, Game Pad, 3, [Extra}

1,
x axis 0 0 255 lin,abs,var,bitfield
y axis 0 0 255 lin,abs,var,bitfield

2,
Button 1(primery/trigger) 0 0 1 lin,abs,var,bitfield
Button 2(Secondry) 0 0 1 lin,abs,var,bitfield
Button 3(tertiary) 0 0 1 lin,abs,var,bitfield
Button 4 to 54 0 0 1 lin,abs,var,bitfield

3,
Initial Startup Actions 0 0 1 lin,abs,var,bitfield
Disconnect actions 0 0 1 lin,abs,var,bitfield

if i tick track incomming events and report current values i can see the values change when joystick is moved
set as port 1 and push, but emulators dont see it.
i set it to port 1 for the mouse and pressed the fire button and it accted like the left mouse on an intro but thats as much luck as i have had.

any idea what settings i need to set as i am stumped
