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?

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?
