Bug Description

Binary package hint: visualboyadvance-gtk

Hi, I've been trying to get the GTK wrapper for visualboyadvance to properly recognize my joypad. The joypad is recognized by jstest and zsnes, and is located at /dev/input/js0; gvba recognizes keyboard input perfectly but not joypad input. I've tried running the command gvba from console but no error messages are visible when the program fails to recognize my joypad's input.

Same problem here. When I try to configure the joypad in gvba it won't recognize anything I press. The same pad works fine in vbaexpress, but I'd much prefer to use gvba.

I'm having the same problem. Any ideas what would cause this or how to get it working? I like GVBA a *lot* more than vbaexpress.
