Batman Forever says there's no pad 1

[Legend]

The game refuses to start up because it states: "No pad in port 1". I obviously have pad 1 set to "controller pad" and all my other games work just fine with the controller. I tried to set the "Pad 1" as different pad types but that did'nt help either and I set "Pad 2" to controller pad and still won't boot. I'm using the latest ST-V bios and SSF 0.8 R10. It works fine on SSF 0.7.

It's still the same with 0.8 R11. The game is not playable because of this. It works fine in 0.8 R3.
