Doitsujin Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 Hi there, Just wanted to know if anyone can assist me with my occasional problems i have on Windows (10) regarding my joypads: I use a single SNES / USB adapter where i can plug in 2 SNES pads. Windows has no problems recognizing those. Most of the emulators find both SNES pads as well. The problems begin when i temporarily add another joystick, in my case a wireless 360 pad. It seems that the internal IDs for all joypads are changed or shuffled around. Is there anything i can do or use in order to give joypads a fixed / permanent ID so that it is immediately recognized as "that" joypad ? In most cases my SNES pads are sufficient, but for some games (eg. in MAME) i need analogue sticks and such. Thankful for any advice =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orac31 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 sorry I can`t help but its a big pain on how windows assigns controller ids I have hunted high and low on google and a lot of people have the problem. Just wish there was a way of making a controller stick to same id. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Yeah, sorry I don't have a good solution for you, @Doitsujin. In LaunchBox we have ways around it with Use All Controllers and I check the controller names as well as the IDs. But as far as forcing them to work with emulators, I'm not sure. It's possible that you could somehow get around it by using Xpadder or similar, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orac31 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I have found a program that when run for the first time asks you what order you want the connected controllers in then every time its run puts them in that order. its called Tur-Game_Controller_Order tested it with dolphin bar and xbox one wireless controller and it works a dream 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
