Snes9x.com

I'm on Linux Mint 18.

My controller was configured and working just fine, then the only thing I can think of was I went to the menu to "pause" the game, then later on did "run/continue" and it's never worked since. Even rebooting the computer. I can remap the controller in the GUI just fine. I'm using Snes9x 1.55

I've tried unplugging the controller and it still wont go. My NES emulators work fine with the controller. I even looked at the config and it looked ok. I'm not sure what the deal is.

Sorry, this has been solved.

I was playing FF3 for the first time in probably 15yrs or more and wasn't able to get past the intro but figured it out.
