Title: GP Wiz Interface question..
Post by: trajan05 on December 26, 2006, 12:05:07 pm: I've got a GPWIZ interface hooked up to a joystick and 9 buttons and now I'm thinking of adding a second joystick and 7 more buttons. Would it be better to get the KeyWiz or to get another GPWiz (to allow 2 joysticks)? It doesnt appear that hooking the second joy into the GPWiz is a good idea since it is recognized as 1 input in Windows.

I'm also thinking of running ZSnes so I'm curious to know what others are using/reccomend for an interface for Zsnes.

Thanks...

I have the 2nd joystick using button 15-19 and they worked out great, feels exactly like the 1st joystick. In whatever emulator you use, just remap the keys.

Getting the emulators I'm running to look for these shouldnt be a problem since they already see the other inputs...(fingers crossed).

Thanks for the help!
