Joystick Help (DirectInput Error)

[MuseionMusei]

Hello, hope you're all doing well. 

 

So I'm very new to Hyperspin / RocketLauncher and have been using all the guides here to get going.  I'm about 95% done with making everything work thanks to the guides but have run into an issue with my Joystick.

 

I've got Joy2Key and I have mapped all my buttons with it and everything works perfectly.  Menus and getting in and out of them, and Gameplay is Perfect as well, as long as I have my Keyboard plugged in along with my joystick.  But as soon I unplug my Keyboard and run everything, the Menu works perfectly fine and I can navigate as normal, but when I go to start a game, I get the following error:  

 

DirectInput:CreateDevice Device not Registered

 

And games won't start.  Any idea on why it won't work when my Keyboard is plugged in?

So Sorry, I put this under the wrong Support Forum.  Any mods available to move it to HyperSpin support?

What is the emulator as it sounds like that message comes from there.

Daphne Emulator.

 

Again joystick works perfectly fine as long as the Keyboard is plugged in.  Once I quit out HyperSpin / RocketLauncher and restart it with the Keyboard unplugged, once I try to run the game, I get the error.  Menus work fine

Anyone have any suggestions on what to check to fix this?  I'm completely clueless on what to check or edit.

What are you using JTK for if you are planning to not have a keyboard plugged in??? That's what it does, emulate key presses.
