Key Configuration Problem

[CirclePirate]

Hi, I'm sort of new to M.U.G.E.N but I have come across a problem with the key configuration and trying to set up a joystick to play with. The joystick that I'm currently using is a dual X-Arcade model. The problem is that I'm trying to set a button as z/heavy punch but it's not registering. The button that I'm trying to use is also the spacebar button which I know is the debug button for refilling the lifebar. When I try configuring the key as the z function it shows up as NOT USED therefore i cannot use it in-game. I have also tried configuring the keys by editing the mugen CFG file and manually setting the z function to the spacebar key but i do not know the correspending number digit that represents the key. While in the mugen config file i also tried setting the debug value to 0 and 1 but still did not find any success. At first i tried programming the button itself on the joystick as another key other than the spacebar which also didn't work which is why I'm currently posting on this forum for your help which would be greatly appreciated.

*Note: I'm running the No_limit_Winmugen_patch with the EvE Screenpack

I've had the same problem as you but I'm using the HotRod SE dual joystick.  I think the X Arcade Stick allows you to manually program each button.  The HotRod SE is hardwired to specific buttons on the keyboard so it wont work for me.  What I did was download KeyExtender, a program that allows you to change the keys on your keyboard ie space bar can be reconfigured to the letter "K" or something else.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who had this problem.

You know, I've written the code for mapping my keys with GLOVEPIE for the Hotrod SE, and ALL the buttons are mapped successfully EXCEPT the LEFT ALT key.  I know the coding is correct, but the fucking key just WONT map.  It has to be some glitch in Glovepie.

Sorry for the topic revival- but this is an issue that I am having.

Is it possible to map the space bar?  I just put mugen in an arcade cabinet, and the Fierce punch on player 1 is the space bar.  I'd rather change the mapping in mugen than have to run a key mapping program.
