Thanks traso. I see what you're saying but it doesn't save to the button when I press it. I think you may be right about me having to rename the state file name to the name of my gamepad button. Problem is, I don't know how I would find the name of my gamepad button. I'm using a Sega Saturn USB pad(ORIGINAL mutha-fuckaz! Not a knock-off!!) and I wonder what button 1, 2 and 3's names are.
