Wire first + connect second =  no problems.

I am working on a modular panel, so the sticks would be plugged in quite often, possibly different sticks.  Is there a way to make it detect the stick without unplugging the USB cable?

If you are talking about unplugging from the interface, I don't know about the long term effects of doing that with a 49-way.  But in any case, you would need to have the 49-way connected when the system is first turned on after powerdown.  After that, the GP-Wiz49 will know which one it is talking to, even if it disconnected afterwards.

You know, 16 way DRS may still prove useful.  I just remembered somebody was asking about Intellivision controllers a while back, and mentioned they had 16 directions.  Anybody know if Intellivision emulators handle 16 directions from an analog joystick?

Paul Olson:

Thanks for replying.  Is there any way to force it to see a certain stick?  The 49way sticks may not always be plugged in during boot (probably won't be, in fact).  If I only use the Happs 49ways, is there a way to disable the autodetect, and just default to the Happs.  This way (I think) I could just plug the 49way in at any time.

Thanks, Paul

Ok, the firmware is ready for this switching method :)

All this work to make software switching work. Wouldn't it be easier/more-elegent just to add an IOCTL command to the firmware to allow mode setting over the USB connection?
