I'm not sure that wanting new features in a new version is an acceptable reason for requesting an update in a stable release.
However with 6.1 pending maybe the goalposts are more flexible?

@ Bunk Bunk
In the meantime please test this build of 3.1 for Mga6 and let me know if you encounter any issues and if it would resolve this for you.

Hello Barry. And thanks 4 support.

I upgraded the package and it worked instantly. Joystick calibration in the old version definately did not fly and i was close to jumping out of the window.

I plugged an old "wingman" controller, that worked, whereas a PS2 controller does not, which might be a different problem.

I would suggest querying the PS2 controller issue upstream (with the vice developers) to see if it is a known issue. Include details of your hardware and which emulator and version (3.1) you are using. You could also include the following link to the build log for that build if you wish, which may help them.

I have also pushed 3.1 to cauldron.

Thanks Barry !

It somehow worked. The PS2 controller can not be hotplugged ( i tried many things out tough ), but that obviously was one problem.
Link and greetings were attributed to the developers of vice.
