Zinc cannot open controller plugin

I have followed both of these threads to a T, starting from scratch each time.

 I have also tried launching from zincfe by itself, but It always starts, then closes on its own. The error is always the same,  error: cannot open controller plugin.

I am using an IPAC. Is there anyhting special I need to do? Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

You propenty use a wrong controller plugin or such and hence it wont work.

You can also try my own config application:

Can you start the game from here after fellowed the readme, then you can also run the wrapper (same exe) from a frontend too.

Actually, I have tried both 1.5 and 1.6 flavors of the Winterblast Plugin..

Hi dezblack,

I had this same issue and it was driving me crazy. I looked at the logs and it wasn't able to initiate my joysticks even though I didn't have one. It turns out that the problem was because player 2's controls had been set to use a joystick. I changed this to keyboard inputs and it is working perfectly now  .

Just thought I would share if anybody else has this issue.
