I ran all of the updates, and I'm happy to say that neither of my two game pads crash X anymore.
However, both of them (Logitech Dual Action & Thrustmaster Firestorm) move the mouse cursor with either the D-Pad or the Analog stick. The Logitech Dual Action has an analog stick and when you press it in any direction, it moves the mouse cursor. The D-Pad on this controller doesn't move the mouse cursor, but doesn't work in any game either. With the Thrustmaster Firestorm, the D-Pad moves the mouse cursor (it doesn't have an analog stick) but the controller works fine in ZSNES but the D-Pad doesn't function at all in MAME. So it looks like this bug is NOT fixed, however we're more than 50% there so I'm very thankful for that. The crashing appears to be fixed (at least for me) but the D-Pad or Analog stick still moves the mouse cursor. I understand some people like that, but I think it should be off by default. Please let me know if there is anything I can test. Loïc Martin wrote: > CypherDelic , your bug says that your joystick can still crash X.
