Max Joysticks per player for a game
« on: February 13, 2006, 09:14:11 pm »
Does anyone know what the Max number of joysticks there are for a single player on all of the supported games?  Also, what type of joystick Digital or Analog.

Thanks,

MikeQ

I found that arch rival had 2 49 ways per player in controls.dat.  I think more than that is a little beyond most humans ability but you never know.  I think I'm going to code this up assuming only two.

Arch Rivals uses 1 49way per player, 2 players max.

Cyber Sled uses 2 analog joys per player, 2 players max (game is not working all the way yet)

2 will be the max, either 2 - 8ways per player or 2 - 4 ways (Karate Champ)

Here's a dual joystick post
