How can I get the controller to work with Alt+Tab?

Post by Arsenic Toast »

I guess that's a little vague, but what I'm wanting to do is tell ZSNES to still accept controller input even when it isn't the active onscreen application. I have a TV as my 2nd monitor so I'd like to be able to tab out and multitask and not have to tab back in to ZSNES every time I want to resume play. Thanks!

Pray that a guy contributes the code. I don't have a controller to test this to begin with, which is its own problem.

Hardware means nothing if you don't have good software.

Oh my, I can't believe someone actually remembers something like that. xD

How times have changed, I finally know what a flash cart is these days! Haha.

Too bad SNES flash carts are too pricey still. Ah well.

If Input is from a gamepad it does.

Hmm... well, I'm using a radioshack PSX -> USB converter and a PS2 controller, if that helps. My friend uses the same version of ZSNES and the same converter but his still works if he's tabbed in to a different application. Is there some sort of setting that I just haven't noticed yet?
