Hi,
When using the --config option from the command line, it seems the joystick is not initialized/enabled.
To reproduce:
1) Setup attract.exe to use the joystick/gamepad for up/down/left/right/select/etc.
2) Confirm it works by navigating the interface.
3) Relaunch with "attract.exe --config c:\attract
I was actually testing with different configs in different directories - but this is the easiest way to reproduce. Because you are using the exact same config file that you just created/modified.
Thanks.
