Hey folks, I've got an issue with Windows and the way it indexes joysticks, and I'm hoping you folks will have solution suggestions. What this boils down to is that I've got my fancy controller-only media box, and it's primarily controlled via bluetooth Dualshock 3, with the PS button being the trigger to quit most of the emulators on the system, including MAME. I'm trying to get it working with other Dualshock _2_ controllers, many of which I already have, via cheap USB PSX adapters. The issue seems to be that when a USB controller gets plugged in, it immediately gets joystick index priority over the DS3. *EVEN WITH* JoyToKey 5 forcing the DS3 to be Joystick 1, whenever I load up MAME, JoyToKey is ignored entirely, and my Dualshock 3 is suddenly Pad 3 rather than Pad 1, and since the "kill MAME" command is bound to the PS button which DS2s don't have, I'm suddenly stuck. It happens if I plug a 360 controller in too - DirectX or whatever handles gamepads in Windows assigns the wired pad as Joystick 1 despite the bluetooth DS3 having previously occupied that index. What I'm looking to do is force the DS3 to stay as Joystick 1, regardless of whatever other gamepads I may plug in.
Does anyone have any tips to this effect?
