I have no start button. I really need one. How can I do ? Help please… can’t play online.
What kind of joystick do you have that doesn’t include a start button…and what console is it for?
It’s a six button generic PC gamepad PCB in my own fightstick.
In MAME; I’d just map F1 or something to Start… but in SFIV I can’t seem to do that.
You should probably ask/research in Tech Talk since this seems to be a custom stick issue…
I asked there but would still appreciate any input via this thread as it relates to SSFIVae.
[SOLVED]
I got it working with a program similar - but free - program like Joy2Key. J2K - A Joystick to Keyboard Mapper Version 1.1
Basically;
(1) Start SF4 without stick plugged-in.
(2) Config buttons for Keyboard 1 anyway you want. I used Cursor keys as U/D/L/R + QWE-ASD as PPP-KKK + Enter/RShift as Start/Select.
(3) Quit SF4.
(4) Start Joy2Key or free alternative listed in the link above. Define a key mapping that corresponds to to what you set in SF4 button config. Example: Bottom left on your stick sends Keyboard A. Save mapping as a preset.
(5) Unplug your stick and start SF4… Plug in your stick when SF4 loaded fully.
(6) Go to buttons config. Now you need to define your buttons again but this time press your stick’s buttons instead of your keyboard.
(7) You need to do steps 4 - 6 every time you Run SF4 from within Windows.
Closing then. Please don’t post the same question in multiple different places.
For future reference, this is a tech talk kinda question. It doesn’t have much to do with SF4 at all.
