Guitar doesn't have STRUM

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hello,
I was looking a way to use my old PS2 guitar on PC and i found this incredible 
emulator of 360 controller. Its all good until here, but...
I can configure my guitar like a "Alternate Guitar" on Advanced options, with 
all them buttoms but the strum bar doesn't work. I mean, on the emulator works, 
but is not any buttom.. i dont know if i been exacly when i talk, here.. i have 
a photo pulling up the strum bar.

The strumbar doesn't work in game. I've tryied everything, but its imposible.
Any idea?
Im trying to play Guitar Hero World Tour with this program. I dont wanna use 
Xpadder, because i wanna use the guitar and Keyboard to play with my brother.
Thanks!
Happy new year LOL

I think is PS2 Adapter problem. PS2 Adapters are not designed to emulate 
guitars, only gamepads, check if 'STRUM' doin anything in dxjoy.cpl. If it not 
recognized - there is nothing to emulate, because DirectInput does not expose 
'STRUM'.

What is dxjoy.cpl. ? Sorry, i've discover an option. Just changing axis to 
dpad. I think that is a solution using an oldest version of x360ce r444, 
because using that version my guitar is recognized. Would be awesome to know 
why the r848 does not recognize the guitar.
I just need what the new version recognize the guitar and change the axis to 
pad. Because when i move up or down the strum bar, the axis moves to up and 
down (on r444)
Can u give me a link to downloade the "dxjoy.cpl" ? Because i cant find it here
Sorry if im bothering.. But i wanna learn and play :)
PD: thanks tapcio for answer and help

Sorry, not dxjoy.cpl but joy.cpl and is part of Windows. Press Windows + R and 
type it in Run.. box. Then select your device and click Properties, test all 
buttons etc. if some buttons/strums ect. are not recognized in joy.cpl then 
cannot be recognized by x360ce - and I think thats the problem.

joy.cpl recognize all buttoms and the strum bar. The strum bar is recognized by 
axis.

You changes gamepad type to guitar ?

From MSDN:
"Guitar controller.

The strum bar maps to DPAD (up and down), and the frets are assigned to A 
(green), B (red), Y (yellow), X (blue), and LB (orange). Right Stick Y is 
associated with a vertical orientation sensor; Right Stick X is the whammy bar. 
Includes support for BACK, START, DPAD (left, right). Left Trigger (pickup 
selector), Right Trigger, RB, LSB (fret modifier), RSB are optional.

Guitar Bass is identical to Guitar, with the distinct subtype to simplify setup.

Guitar Alt supports a larger range of movement for the vertical orientation 
sensor."

When u said if i change gamepad type, u mean the device type right?
Now, i dont know what i touch, but for a miracle the x360ce recognizes the 
guitar. My cfg is now this one. Tell me if i u see something wrong please.
Should i activate "Axis to D.Pad" and "Pass Through" ?
PD: the "Guitar Bass" is not on the device types
PD2: I dont know what, but all the time is like the right d-pad or axis is 
press.

r584 is not supported here, if you want help, use r848 (which should work for 
you when properly configured, but i think you need to configure x360ce manually 
without using config app).

I read the Guides. Intuitively I assumed that what I was doing was right LOL .
Anyway, i did it!!! Now the Strumbar works! Now, a new problem. Its the only 
thing what i need to get a complete cfg of my guitar.
My new problem its this.
How u can see on the picture, the D-pad Right its all the time press. And if 
that is on Axis happens too. That problem ON AXIS was fix it puting the Stick 
Axis on Empty, both of it.
But on D-Pad that is not possible, idk why. Should i open the guitar and make 
something? Or is just software problem? Because if i put D-pad Right or Left on 
empty doesn't happens nothing. This is a problem for me, because i cant choose 
anything, the strumbar works just for strum. Not for select, i cant move 
anything with it. And all the thins is on "Easy" or "Normal" if u know what i 
mean.
Again thanks for the help and preocupation about this issue, greeting from 
Argentina :)
