I really wanna use 1.4.2 but the controllers just don't work.

I've tried using gamepad detectors like x360ce.exe but still nothing.

So almost all buttons work like the X Y A B START SELECT

But the direction keys don't work (Joystick or digital pad).

Sometimes it can sort-of work like I can go right but I can't go left or I can't press down...


Once this is fixed I feel MORE people will start using this. But until then I just can't use this. Playing mario with a keyboard is the worst lol

I'll wait for a fix and continue to use the original smbx. But please I really wanna use 1.4.2 but without controller support I just can't...

Great to hear, because I have the very same problem. I can not test / play without my xbox 360 controller. It just does not work anymore with 1.4.X.
But for some reason people claim somehow it works for them and yet I haven`t found a solution.
Looking at your post you went even further with your testing.

I think some people can do this very well, specially those who did not grow up with handhelds or gaming consoles, just the pc. But yes, I agree with you.

If he keeps the pattern, a new version should be released somehow end of may or middle of june or something like that, at least I hope so. Right now, SMBX is not really usable IMHO, too many things are somehow weird or broken (the p-switch behaviour/coding is a complete mess).

Sorry for giving you false hope with my very helpful posting ... NOT.

Joytokey ?

If you wanna insinuate to set up the config manually, no thanks. Values like

Player1Controls=16,83,88,90,65,38,40,37,39

are not user-friendly. Unlike 1.3.X you just can not config your controller in the game options anymore. But since it seems to be a reprogramming in these matters, I am not surprised. I bet for people where it is working, it is none more than a wonderful piece of luck.

Uh ? I don't know what do you mean but Joytokey look like this now :

Actually using Joytokey (Which I didn't know existed) seems to work for me.

I mean for now it's the next best thing. But it's lots of trouble for friends that play this cause they also need this to try.

I am sure he's working on an update and I can only hope fixes this issue but for now, this will do

Oh, I did not know, it was an external program. Never heard of it before. Thanks, I will check it out.
Still, it would be kinda nice if 5438A38A could re-implement the feature which got removed via re-programming.
