[Pee Wee]

Saluts amis!

 

Pls, I do have a problem with the file "Pad_config.exe" that contain the games Taito Arcade Dumps. As you know, used to configure the gamepad/joystick or the keys on the keyboard. When I try to open in, I get a the following message error: "Could not initialize Direct Input: 1". Pls see the pic:

I believe that you're trying to config a dump that used a software called "Arcade pc loader". This software use different launchers for config things like video settings and pad settings. Pad_config.exe is part of this software. You can install arcade pc loader or, you can get a "clean dump" of the game and config with the correct launchers (you can read more about this in the Taito type X thread

This is a problem of Windows 10 (the arcade-hating OS).   Just change compatibility mode to Windows 7 and it will work.

SOLVED!

 

That is what I did yesterday, @Gtguy. Run compatibility troubleshooter and now works 

 

Thank you for your reply, @Rikario

 

Thanks so much for everything & K. regards.
