Mayflash stick does not work?

[Hegemon]

I've just bought Mayflash Arcade Stick strictly for SFV and it does not work. Simply the game ignores it. It works outside the game in properteis window, I can test it, but not in SFV!

What is going on? I have PC

[Henry Swanson]

Is there any kind of PC or xinput switch on the device?

[TerrfiyingTaiya]

It's probably a direct-input device. In which case, use a program like Xouput or x360ce and you should be golden until d-input support comes.

[Hegemon]

Nope, just a stick, AUTO, CLEAR and buttons 1-10

:-(

Do you mean I need some kind of 3rd party software? The manual says it's PC USB compatibile and all I need to do is to install the driver from CD. Which I did. And it works in control panel, I can see the input.

Why it's not working in SFV then?

Yes but sf5 has some problem with D-input so he dont detect your stick.
Did Sfv detect another support ? ( like keyboard )
If yes, you can try to disconnect your keyboard ( or other ) and replug your pad to try without keyboard.

For me as One day SFV decided that my keyboard has priority on my Pad and that solution fixe it, that s quick and free ^^

Because SFV does not support directinput, a PC standard, which is why the manual says it is PC-compatible, which is correct, it is fully PC and directinput compatible, it's just not compatible with SFV, because SFV needs xinput.

Please take a look in this thread for further information and advice:

YES, you need 3rd party software for right now. SFV uses the Xinput library, A.K.A. the X360/XBOne controller support library, which means that a lot of sticks aren't compatible because they use Direct Input.

However, the work around is to use something like Xoutput / x360ce (which uses direct input devices to "emulate" an Xinput device), or Xpadder (which emulates keyboard/mouse activities with a controller).

joy2key is what i use since games nowa days only seem to support x-input (Killer instincts pc port has this same issue)

KI = Microsoft and they are actively pushing for the new xinput standard. Having / implementing new standards is fine, hard forcing it like this is not, especially since Win10 still fully supports directinput (as legacy).

I know, buying sticks or gamepads for PC has again become sort of a risky business. It wasn't always like this.

[Hegemon]

Thanks for answers! I've got everything working with X360ce. Shame on Capcom that I had such problems though...

Even if the stick works, mayflash is rubish TBH, unless your moding the stick with seimitsu or sanwa. The bottons are good but you'll find it very hard to pull of moves. you get what you pay for
There should be cheap alternatives to mayflash with reputed parts you could get.
You're better off with a gamepad than a mayflash, unles the design has changed from a couple of years ago.

[Chaosedge23]

i have the qanba q1 or w/e its called it's like the next step up from mayflash at 80$ its ok but the stick is kinda bad its really squeaky and noisy (besides the normal clicky sound)

[Hegemon]

I find Mayflash stick very loose. I can move it in any direction without clicking (therefore the character move isn't triggered). Is this how a stick should work?
