I can't get my arcade sticks working correctly.

[Kev The Galaxybender]

Every time i hook one of them up it never recognizes the joystick because it thinks it's the dpad (POV hat or something like that). I don't have a switch on my sticks that will make the stick act as an analog stick. I tried using xpadder but when I set the keys as buttons it never maps the correct controls that I want.

Is there an easy to way to fix this?

1) What brand and model is your stick?
2) How are you hooking it up to your computer?
3) Does it work for any other games or just not at all?

I've had no problem w/ my Hori EX2's for mugen (that is, before they stopped functioning correctly as I hear most/all of them do prematurely), but yet, kawaks wouldn't recognize them.  And my friend's SFIV stick worked fine with mugen.  What kind of stick are you using, madcatz or something?  And why would you want to change it to analog, wouldn't you want it digital, or is this to trick mugen or something into working?  I'm in the market for a new stick and would definitely want it to be mugen compatible so I'm curious to see how this turns out...

my arcade stick is a custom made one from AiaB (Arcade in a Box) it can work for 360 and PS3.

None of my sticks work for mugen though. It always reads the stick as the POV Hat and not as the analog stick. I also have Hori EX2 sticks and it doesn't read the sticks either. Mugen recognizes the buttons on all my sticks but not the actual stick as a movement device. It's like when I plug an Xbox 360 controller into my PC and run mugen, it will recognize the analog stick and the buttons but not the dpad. It's pretty much doing the same thing for my arcade stick. It reads the buttons, but it has no analog stick, just a joystick that is being read as the dpad ala POV Hat.

Joy2Key is a possible option for you? I tend to stick with keyboard but i'm sure there are more options than just xpadder.

for some reason when I try using something like xpadder, I get the buttons wrong somehow. I really don't understand it. I map the keys correctly but it never comes out right
