GP2 Joystick setup

I am using a Microsoft 3D joystick and cannot seem to access any of the menu options in advanced setup for my joystick except the calibration setup. I would like to change the shifting controls to my joystick buttons instead of the fire button. Can anyone help?

I figured out how to access the menu options but still cannot reassign the shifter from Fire 1 (or spacebar) to button 3 and button 4. Is this possible?

You need to move to one of the "Not used" check boxes (or whatever they say - there is 3 or 4 of them underneath where it says Keyboard [ ] and Joystick [ ]...) Once you check one of those boxes, you can change its name to "Microsoft 3D" or something like that and you will be able to change all of the other advanced options... Hope this helps, - Mike. ================================================================ = R.I.P. Scott Brayton: February 20, 1959 - May 17, 1996 = R.I.P.

I believe not. I'm not 100% certain, but I _am_ 90% certain. I have a Gravis Gamepad, which has had the four buttons for years now, and only a selected few games ever supported anything more than two buttons. You see, what these four button joysticks do is that they steal away the button assignments from a secondary joystick. Because most people don't use double joysticks, and precious few games support multiple players on the same console (i.e. the same PC), most games don't even bother looking for signals a from a second joystick. About the first and one of only a few games that did was Doom and Wolfenstein. Yousuf Khan -- Yousuf J. Khan Ottawa, Ont, Canada Nation's capital
