Am I crazy or is Windows reprogramming my Aimtrack P1/P2 settings when I'm not looking

[lisowskikevin]

Hey guys,

I have just successfully set up my Aimtrack guns to work in MAME, and they work really really well during in game play. I initially set them up through the Aimtrack utility then game by game through MAME input settings. (Tab button).

The problem is sometimes when I turn off the machine Player 2 becomes player 1! Anyone heard of this before  or have any ideas how this would happen?

Hey Darth, I never unplug anything on my setup but I do use a wireless keyboard mouse combo. I leave the wireless receiver plugged into the usb port all the time but the mouse and keyboard both have on\off switches which i always turn off/on at random times.

Could that be the issue causing USB device reassignment? Would Windows read the on/off switches on my mouse and keyboard the same way as if I were to unplug a usb device?

Thanks for your help

That definitely sounds like the culprit.

I leave everything plugged in, but Windows 10 randomly swaps my 2 PS360+ encoders.  When it happens, I just unplug player two, reboot, then once everything is running the way its supposed too, plug #2 back in.

Sucks, but that's life.

If RetroArch and MAME adopted the (newer) trend of "whatever controller presses the start button first = player 1" thing that Windows games have all been doing lately, it would make life really simple.
