Hi all. I'm new to the forum so please excuse me if this has been asked before. I'm having an annoying issue trying to play Mortal Kombat Trilogy. Whenever I connect my controller (Madcatz Fightstick) and I've mapped all the buttons in the key mapper, its as if the left cursor is stuck on all the time so I can't select anything else. The buttons work because I can select things but obviously, I can't play with my character constantly going left 😀 so would anyone know how to fix this? Thank you.

Ok, I've read through the manual and I've tried disabling the timed option but then my joystick is completely disabled ingame. I've tried setting the emulation to none as well but that also disabled the fightstick. I've tried all the joystick types but they either don't work or I still have the same problem.

Did you calibrate the joystick in the game (if it's not done automatically)?

I can't find any option to calibrate in game or in DOSBox. I think my joystick calibrates automatically when I connect it.

Does your joystick behave correctly in the Windows control panel?

Mine is for windows not dosbox; because when I try to use it with dosbox, it says that 'this is not a dos game'. If there is an options menu for windows, how do you bring it up?

I am referring to the "Game Controllers" control panel. (You know, Start->Settings->Control Panel.)
