Hi,

the CD32 gamepad support is not finished (I mentioned that in the release notes). It should work, if the docs I have are correct, but unfortunately it doesn't. Hopefully, I'll be able to fix it in some of the upcoming releases.

I Thanks for your answer and details.
I will be ready to test : my test list has 93 games.

Just to be sure, you are using a 'real' CD32 pad connected to the DB9 port, right? This should work without enabling the CD32Pad option in the OSD menu, that is intended just for emulating CD32pad for USB devices.

Did you try it without enabling that option? Unfortunately, I don't have any real CD32 pads, so I can't test this myself, but it should just work, as there is no special hardware needed to handle this.

Did you try it without enabling that option? yes, but it does'nt work with CD32 WHDLOAD GAMES
only 2 or 1 button works.

With game Base Jumper CD32 WHDLOAD + CD32PAD option false or true + usb PAD + CD32PAD option in the game => doesn't work, only 2 buttons work but not left, not right, not up, and not down.

With game Base Jumper CD32 WHDLOAD + CD32PAD option false or true + db9 real CD32PAD + CD32PAD option in the game => doesn't work, only 2 buttons work (Red and Blue) but not left, not right, not up, and not down.
