oh i imagine it does. however, the only device i have to interface with mame besides my keyboard is a thrustmaster firestorm digital 2 controller. until i have to buy something else, this will suffice for now

ok i got the diagonals mapped on the controller. but i'm having difficulty trying to play marvel vs capcom. although i have the diagonals mapped out, the game doesn't recognize it. i looked to configure it on the game but there is no such option to configure diagonals. i can't do any special moves like this or jump away/towards opponents(pretty much anything that has to do with a diagonal input on the control pad). this leads the game to be absolutely frustrating. any suggestions?

nevermind. i figured it out. thanks much

ok it recognizes it now. thanks. now all i have to do is configure a way to map the diagonals on the control pad. any suggestions?

thanks. i'll give this a shot.

ok i'm using xpadder in order to use my control pad with mame. i mapped out the keys accordingly on my control pad( thrustmaster firestorm digital 2). windows recognizes it but mame does not. how do i get mame to recognize xpadder? is there another possible solution?
