Hi, I'm using the emulator ZSNES for SNES, and my gamepad used to work with it before I got XP, but now it doesn't (waah). Windows sees the gamepad as "OK" and when I try to calibrate it I can activate the directional pad and six of the buttons. However, in the emulator (DOS) it just doesn't work. Is there any way around this? Maybe I could get a newer emulator, but then my savegame probably wouldn't work. I feel so screwed. I just hope someone has a suggestion for fixing the problem. I'd greatly appreciate any advice.

lol, I just love them old games. I completed Final Fantasy 6 a while back, and now I want to start playing Chrono Trigger again. They just don't make PC games like that ;)

simple Solution:

Download SNES9X instead. It's a windows-based emulator, and has all sorts of configuration options for improving the graphics and suchlike, as well as multiplayer over network/internet.
