  • I want to build my own arcade controls!
Hi,

When I use only 1 USB gamepad attached to my computer, both Maximus Arcade and the emulators (Mame, Gen9x, etc) work just fine. However, when I try to use 2 USB gamepads at the same time they both "answer" as being the joystick #1 on the Maximus Preferences.

I'm using a SNES-like usb gamepad (just like this one --> http://www.amazon.com/Classic-USB-Super-Nintendo-Controller-PC/dp/B002JAU20W) and they are both configured and working well on Windows XP Controllers Options.

On MA Preferences, if I go to the Controllers tab and use the View tab, I can see that both controllers are replying as being the JOY #1.
When I launch MA, on the Menu I can use both controllers - but I guess it doesn't really matter here that they both look like JOY #1, right? - but when I launch any game from any emulator there is always only one controller working.

Does anyone have a clue of how to fix or at least how to better debug this?
