Problems with multiple microsoft gamepads

I have 2 microsoft gamepads hooked up together, and when I'm in a game, the second controller always pulls to the left. It's a digital controller, so I know the joystick doesn't need to be calibrated (altho I found out you could...weird!) I looked in the faqs and didn't notice any microsoft gamepad "issues", and I'm using all the normal plugins that came with 1.5. Anyone else have this problem?

maybe try different controller plugin?

see if there is a button remapping program for those controllers from microsoft so you could remap all the buttons as keyboard buttons (i did that with my gravis pads and dont have any problems)

Ok, does anyone here actually use multiple Microsoft gamepads, and have them plugged into each other?

I'm pretty sure it's a bug....

While trying EVERYTHING to fix this, and I do mean everything, I decided to plug in 3 joysticks. This is when everything REALLY started to become fun. Once I plugged in 3, I looked in the control panel and saw all three connected. When I went to PJ64, it let me configure all three, and then I started up F-Xero X. While I used the first controller, everything was fine...no pull to the left! But as soon as I touched one of the other controllers, I got a "windows found new device" and the controller panel flushed itself clean, and then re-"found" my 3 plugged in joysticks...oh, and it also crashed PJ64. I'm running win2k, which is probably important, as I know win9x handles microsoft gamepads differently. My professional guess would be that someone is useing the wrong polling functions for Dinput. Just a guess. I know I've gotten 4 controllers to work before in NHL 2k, and 2k1.

hmm i got a similar problem with using 2 controllers, how i solved it? i just used one. Its probably the win2k drivers for your pad which seem to be crap

This would work, but the point is I would like to be able to play with multiple people. The whole point of using an emulator is so I can scale the resolution to match my projector, which makes it look oh so much better than the original N64. I think I'm going to try to solve this by installing a different OS, probably XP.

I don't know about it being faster (perhaps when you turn off all the nasty effects) but I have this thing about not selling my soul to the devil....ya know?

I have XP and use multiple gamepads with PJ and have no problems. This is with USB Axispad colors gamepads.

they aint that nasty, and it is fast, else they wouldnt of added effects :p anyway it has been proven in benchmarks that its faster :) and if your worried about spyware in xp, there are some tools that help u get rid of it such as xp-antispy :)

Well I installed XP, and whaddya know, it looks like it works...altho now I can't seem to get F Zero X to work! But that's besides the point, I'll figure out what's not working right and fix it.

Time for a new thread!
