Hi all, I tried to find an answer on the board but came up short. If it's already been answered I apologize!
I'm running a Windows 7 build loading directly into Maximus Arcade. I have two wired XBOX 360 controllers that I treat as Player 1 and Player 2. The PC I'm using is completely dedicated to gaming for this, and I leave the controllers plugged in at all times. What I can't seem to figure out is why, at Windows boot, the two USB ports I'm using for the controllers get assigned to either Player 1 or Player 2 at random. The ports are not consistently assigned Player 1 or Player 2 roles. Is there any way to lock down which device boots up before the other (and therefore lock down which one is P1, and which one is P2)?
