That sounds familiar... are you using a DreamInducer disc?

By accident, I've discovered how to get the controls working about 80% of the time (once you get it to work, it will always work in that session until you turn the Dreamcast off). Anyway, disable sound and save the config file to your VMU. Now go start up a game that didn't work before. Viola! It plays. Exit the game. Now renable sound but don't save to the VMU. Go back and restart your game. Now you will sound and control! Most of the time, the next time you run Nester, it will load with the sound disabled from the config file. Reenable sound as above but don't save the config file. This seemed to work most of the time.

Otherwise, revert back to 6.X.

Actually I was the one that originally wrote that tip, but long ago reverted back to 6.0.
