Dance pad not fully mapping

[meshmeshumeshu]

I've been trying to map all the buttons of my dance but only a few buttons are detected. Enjoyable/Enjoy2 detects all of them but I'm facing bugs with it. Play! detects all of the buttons but the audio is looping so I would like to be able to use PCSX2 and map all my buttons directly through the controller menu, instead of going through Enjoyable/Enjoy2. I've tried a lot of different PCSX2 versions but they all have that same issue, unfortunately. Any idea?

Please post the contents of the emulog.txt file after the problem occurs. The file can be found in "My Documents\PCSX2\logs" for the installer version or in "PCSX2\logs" for the portable/binary version.

Please make sure to enclose your emulog in code tags like so (remove the empty space on the closing code tag!):

Do you know if your dance pad appears as a controller or keyboard to the computer?

If it appears as a controller, you may need to use a Qt build to map the buttons, as wx builds don't support button remapping and dance pads may have some weird button mappings.

Sure! Here it is:

How can I check if it appears as a controller or a keyboard?

Try heading to a gamepad testing website and see if anything shows up
Try pressing buttons on it with your cursor in a text document to see if it types anything

Ok that was very interesting actually. It seems like Gamepad Tester doesn't detect O and X on my gamepad, which are the exact ones PCSX2 isn't detecting. What is very strange though is: Enjoyable detects these keys, and that's how I've been able to use the dance pad.

Try a Qt build and see if it works better

That's the version I was using actually, I just checked. I also just tried the wxWidgets build.

FIXED: I ended up using USB Overdrive to mapped all the keys and it worked.
