What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
No controlls and games that dont work or have issues

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
v.0.5.8.2 Build date Oct 23 2013

Please provide any additional information below.

I apologize in advance should any of this already been brought to your 
attention but I have found 3 games that have no control functionality and have 
found games that don't run or have issues.

The three without control functionality are...

Evolution 1 - Tested 3 different .GDI's & Runs on NullDC

Charge 'n Blast - Actually says no controller attached after boot up - Runs on 
NullDC 

Dynamite Cop - Tested 3 different .GDI's & Runs on NullDC

I am using a wired USB Xbox 360 controller and I have tested them on NullDC 
controls so its not the .GDI's. I have tested 60 .GDI files with Demul and only 
3 have had no controller functionality. 

The games that don't work or have issues are...

4 wheel thunder - Tested on NullDC & Runs perfectly so not my GDI file

Cannon Spike - Tested on NullDC & Runs Perfectly so not my GDI file

Evil Twin - Graphical issues - tested on NullDC same results

Trigger Heart Exelica - Graphical issues - Runs Perfectly on NullDC

Half Life - Loads and even lets you select which game to play but freezes when 
loading level but if you change the cpu from DynaRec to Interpreter at this 
point it loads the game and you can even play it but its super slow. Changing 
it back to DynaRec just freezes the game again. Doesn't even load on NUllDC

MY PC Specs are 8-core AMDFX 8350 4.0 CPU, 8 gigs of ram, Geforce GTX570. I can 
provide more information if needed and thanks for making such an awesome piece 
of software.

Hi. Thanks for the response. Okay I have tried both of your suggestions. Here's 
whats still going...

The two games I have mentioned with graphical issues Trigger Heart Exelica and 
Evil Twin No longer Have graphical issues. FIXED

The Three games with controller issues Evolution, Dynamite Cop & Charge 'n 
Blast still do not work. I am using the padDemul plugin and when I set the 
Maple Device manager Port A to controller or keyboard (along with configuring 
it) they still do not work. Should I be using another controller plugin other 
then the default padDemul plugin that comes with Demul v.0.5.8.2? 

And the two .GDI files (DC Games) that wont load Cannon Spike & 4 Wheel Thunder 
wont load in Demul but boot and run fine in NullDC. 

Half Life issue still remains the same.

maple devices are the virtual dreamcast controller devices, if you select 
keyboard there, you'll plugin the virtual keyboard to your dreacmast
for regular controller, it should be controller
then go to the Controls->Dreamcast and define your keyboard or gamepad keys as 
virtual dreamkacst keys.
all works fine there, so you just doing something wrong

and here still too much "issues" in one, so let it be invalid, try one more 
times of you find something really buggy
