FIXED - Can't Set Player 2 Joystick in Hyperspin
« on: October 16, 2011, 11:02:08 am »
Tried over on the Hyperspin forum and haven't gotten a response, so I figured I'd give it a shot over here.

I'm running Hyperspin v1.2. I have a total of 6 joysticks installed. Two U360s and a Lono (one board, 4 joysticks). In HyperHQ I can set Player 1's joystick to any of the 6 connected sticks. However, I am unable to set Player 2's joystick. I have the enable box checked for Player 2. When I select set joystick ID I get the popup box that says click ok then press a button on the joystick. But when I press a button on any of my joysticks while trying to set Player 2's stick, nothing happens, except when I try to press a button that is already set to Player 1's stick, then I will get a notification that the joystick is already in use by Player 1.

Player 1's joystick is one of the U360s. Player 1's buttons are connected to the Lono, which is seen as another joystick. I'm trying to set up these 2 joysticks in HyperHQ so the U360 and Player 1's buttons can be used to control Hyperspin. I can build a harness for the U360 to output to the Lono header that Player 1's buttons are connected to, but if I do that I would also like Player 2's controls to control Hyperspin as well, so I'm back in the same boat.

Any ideas?

Well, I even tried to modify Hyperspin's settings.ini so player 2's joystick was assigned to the right joystick ID and still nothing.

I don't know what was going on, but it has been fixed. I had a couple of different folders of Hyperspin emulator combos on a removable hard drive. I plugged that in and went to each HyperHQ to see if I could map player 2's joystick. Well, in one of them I was able to. So I copied everything in that particular Hyperspin folder, minus the sub folders, and pasted it into the Hyperspin folder on my MAME computer replacing the old files. Works like a charm now.
