Hi Dark, Could you do me a favor? Could you set your X-Arcade stick up on your PC and test it out with MOTA beta 18. The reason I'm asking is over the course of beta 17 and beta 18 I spent a lot of time and effort on getting USB joystick support working, adding a custom profiler and everything, and have recieved 0% feedback on it. Besides a few people like Ron who like myself seems to be interested in joysticks I'm almost willing to szay joystick support in accessible games is a complete waist of time.
