I've been trying to find out how to use a gamecube adapter and xpadder to set up thug 1 but, I had no luck. does anyone know how to fix this?

I never used xpadder, but when I had my adapter (Raphnet) I was able to just plug in and map my inputs in the launcher

Does xpadder recognize your inputs but the game doesnt? try running xpadder as admin if so.

yeah, but I run as admin and I'm in testmode...

are either the launcher or thug.exe running as admin? disable one or both and see if that changes something while leaving xpadder running with admin.

I use d3d for my thug.exe but, every time I use the launcher it thinks I have my xbox 1 controller plugged in.

at this point I don't even know how to use xpadder efficiently...

switched to joytokey and it fixed my problem
