Map Different Joystick

[Phantom]

is there a way to edit the controller config file for a certain game (ZSNES V2.ini) to have different buttons for more then one controller.

My cabinet is made up of different controllers and not all the buttons are mapped properly or the same, so for DAPHNE games I need to map buttons on Joystick#4 not the default one.

Daphne has built in Joystick support but from what I've found its only for Joystick#1.

I like using JOYTOKEY but for GAMEX I can't get it to start and close with Daphne since it doesn't have the usual "Launch Before" or "Launch After"

Help?!?!

What kind of controls are you using? I-Pac?

What kind of controls are you using? I-Pac?

No I'm using hacked ps2 controllers that are hooked up via Playstation to USB converters. For some reason Windows always sets my main controller to ID#4 so I'm forced to use JOYtoKey for some emulators.

!BUMP!

This is an old request that I worked around but I figured I would ask again.

Is it possible to set a specific controller in the Emulator Configuration file and not All Controllers? I know you can map a certain button press to exit a game, but I have 1 hacked controller that I want to use button 2 to exit all my emulators, but GameEx seems to exit the emulator it I press button 2 on any of my Controllers.

Right now I'm using Joy2Key on a few emulators just for an Exit button. I would like to clean up the process with the Mapfile if possible.

Merci for any help

I'll look into this more tomorrow.

However I'd suggest moving over to Xpadder rather than continuing to use Joy2Key.

I would use xpadder to map the joy buttons to keypresses.

Then use key presses in all emus... That way you dont have to have multiple configs launch before and after.

Perhaps off topic, but has anyone thought of using a AHK or AI script running all the time in the background to monitor what program is active and then switch the XPadder config on the fly? I was just thinking that with a statement like the following for each program, you could avoid using launch before and launch after for configs alltogether!

#Persistent

SetTimer, ConfigTimer, 100

ConfigTimer:
#IfWinActive, GameEx
{
   Run, "C:\Emu\XPadder\GameEx.cfg"
}
#IfWinActive, MAME
{
   Run, "C:\Emu\XPadder\MAME.cfg"
}
#IfWinActive, ZSNES
{
   Run, "C:\Emu\XPadder\ZSNES.cfg"
}
Return

Any thoughts?

Yeah I though of that... But then I decided to run xpadder on start up. Map my joystick to one set of keys.. Then set all my emu to use the keystroke I wanted... This way Im not loding and unloading a bunch of profiles.
