Okay, so I mapped everything to my joystick, and have no problems playing the game.

but once i quit the game, it forgets 3 of the mapped buttons

I have mapped accelerate, decelerate, cwroll, and ccwroll to a 4 way hat, labeled joy0button 13-16, it remembers that 13 is mapped to accelerate, but the other 3 i have to map everytime i run the game

I'm OSX 10.3 on a powerbook 12" 867 with a CH fighterstick USB

any ideas?

Hmm. There's a config.ini file in your Vendetta.app bundle. This is where all your joystick configuration stuff is saved. Can you map those commands again and then exit and then send me that file please?

Did you log out, press cancel, then hit exit, or did you just log out and hit command-q?
I don't think it saves bindings if you don't press exit...

Genka, Yes i always clicked the "quit" button to close the program
and i have bound other keys since this error
thanks though :D

Heh there's a bug in Vendetta where it saves all the buttons' settings but fails to load any more than the first 13 buttons. (JOYBUTTON0-12)
I fixed it and it will be in the next update.
