Gamepad stops functioning.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Sometimes my gamepad will stop functioning. I am using a PS2 controller and a 
PS2 to USB adapter. This only happens while playing nullDC. For some odd 
reason, my gamepad didn't work right away after setting all the keys with the 
PuruPuru input plugin v0.1 by Falcon4ever. I tried shutting down and restarting 
the emu several times until it finally decided to work. Weird.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1: Closing and restarting the emulator.
2: After a recent crash.

What version of the product are you using? What build? What plugins?

I use version: NullDC 1.0.4 Built October 31, 2010 16:45:36

I use the following plugins:

PowerVR Plugin: nullDC PowerVR - Direct 3D HAL 
GDRom Plugin: Image Reader plugin by drk
AICA Plugin: nullDC AICA
ARM7 Plugin: VBA ARM Sound Cpu Core
Maple Plugin(s): PuruPuru input plugin v0.1 by Falcon4ever
Ext.Device Plugin: nullExDev

On what kind of system?

My system specifications are as follows:

ASUS P5Q Pro Turbo Motherboard
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit (Build 7600)
Corsair 750 Watt Power Supply
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3 GHz / 1333 FSB
ATI Radeon HD 4850 1 GB VRAM x2 (CrossFireX Enabled)
Corsair 2 GB x 2 (4 GB total) 800 MHz
Seagate 750 GB HDD @ 7200 rpm

Try to use different revisions of emulator. Try r71 or r70 or r69...

Which revision you use? r85 or something else?

I found a work around. Since it seems to remember my keyboard settings... I set 
it to keyboard only and mapped the DC pad to my keyboard. Then I used Total 
Game Control to map my PS2 pad to keyboard. It works every time.

Not very good solution. It should work perfect with purupuru plugin. You just 
need to set SDL mode and remap your buttons. Game with keyboard a la "Joy To 
Key" or something similar is ugly variant. I believe, your problem may be 
fixed. 

1 Set SDL mode
2 Remap buttons
3 Enjoy

P.S. 
But first, you must delete old ini file. After that you can change settings 
again. 

It should works.

Try using the SDL.DLL from this http://www.mediafire.com/?tyyvyjxkh3m

Copy paste it on your nullDC folder.
