I have XPadder. Use it for NullDC as well as the Dolphin Emu. However, as far as I can tell, and read, you can't config latest versions of Makaron to use keyboard commands. It only lets you config a controller. Which I have, of course, done, and re-tried configuring it multiple times. EDIT: I figured it out. I noticed two options in the Gamepad config - Sega Compatible & Digital Triggers. I enabled both of them and now the controller works in SFA3. I can't believe I missed those the 1st time *sigh* Oh well, if anyone ever runs into that same prob, there's the fix.
