Having a problem. Snes9x runs perfectly fine under the x64 OS, my problem lies with my gamepad. Im using the radioshack PSX to USB adaptor and drive and it works great in zsnes, mame, vba etc... only snes9x seems to be having problems. The problem that is occuring is that the POV switch isn't doing diagonals (can't do dragon uppercuts/fireballs). I can do it with the analog if I set the controls to the analog controller but when trying to use the POV, its very slow and unresponsive at times and will only do up/down/left/right and no combination of those with my thumb. Has anyone else encountered this issue before? I also noticed when setting the controller settings in snes9x sometimes, i'll be setting say button 'X' and press a control on my gamepad and it sets the control for "Left" instead. Very strange. Perhaps someone knows a fix. Zsnes works perfectly fine, so im assuming its a problem with snes9x and it only occurs on the x64 OS. I know the obvious answer is to use the 32-bit version of xp, but I would really like to see if there is a fix for this. Thanks for any help. EDIT: Okay, apparently this seems to be a snes9x problem in general, not a 64-bit issue. I followed some links Nitsuja gave me and still havnt found a fix other than to just use the analog sticks. Anyone know a fix? I've tried resetting the configured by deleting the registry keys, but no good.
I think.....therefore I am not Barry Burton

You need to set the diagonals as well, if you're using the directional pad. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v223/erokky/snespad.jpg The highlighted part there. As for snes9x setting left to your X key (I'm using that as an example), I experience that as well. Just assign the keys one by one. As in, do up, OK, do left, OK, do down, OK and etcetera. It's obviously slower, but that's one way of getting around that bug.
