thanks for your help @linglang
but im having no joy, i replaced the SV folder with yours and extracted the idmac and jconfig from your folder and put them into the game folder..
deleting my idmac and jconfig, i also removed monitor input and monitor misc from the game folder which were created by jconfig 1.7
i then try to load the game and i wont boot?
so i removed the idmac and jconfig and SV folder that you shared and put back jconfig 1.7 and the idmac that came with 1.7 and the game booted. but the controls still wont work.. i noticed that with jconfig 1.7 the monitor input file and monitor msic file that are created from jconfig are added to the game folder and not the SV folder??
so i cant configure the xbox controller for any nesica games??
all of the taito games work using jconfig 1.7 and the idmac that comes with that version, so im confused?
