I''m running 087b on an iBook G4. I'm using both Gamepad Companion and USB Overdrive to map keys to the buttons on my Century ConCepts: Super USB Gamepad. It is PS1-like; no analog stiks, just a D-pad and 8 buttons. Every time I set the (General) or (This Game) buttons in the Config menu, they are back to the default the next time I open the game. EXCEPT for today when I opened Tecmo Bowl. It had kept the settings from the last time i played—about a week ago. Any ideas?

0.87 has serious problems with gamepads. Try a different version.

Actually, I don't know that it's a gamepad problem. I'm not using any gamepads currently, and I was having a lot of problems with the configurations resetting. "This Game" would stay most of the time, but the "General" controls had to be reset every time I started a new game.

No idea as to the cause of or solution to the problem, however.
