Using NullDC, I need to use either Joy2Key or XPadder.. so I'm using XPadder. I've tried both... but neither of them work.
So here's the thing, I need XPadder to open up along with NullDC, and to close when NullDC gets closed.

It doesn't work this way... now I got it to close with this: taskkill /im Xpadder.exe /F and it usually closes just fine.
But I can't get the emulator to open up with XPadder right.

Here's what happens. I select a Dreamcast game from GameEx, nothing happens. Black screen. I back out and try it again, and THIS time it works. I cannot, for the life of me, figure it out.
Now after this second try, stuff gets weird. If I quit GameEx, I usually see that there's an XPadder.exe open. How? It's supposed to close with NullDC... so I close it and what happens... NullDC opens! WHY? I can't figure it out at all... why is it that I can't get the emulator to open the first try... why does XPadder sometimes stay open, and why, when I close it, it decides to open NullDC?

Can anybody tell me what's going on? This wouldn't be a problem if NullDC could just use Joysticks...

I think you need to use the "Also Launch" instead of "Launch Before"

I guess that's all it was! Wow. Thanks Tom.
