2P Not Working in v. 1.36 or 1.42

Post by ChemKneazle »

I'm using one computer and two USB controllers (both are different brands) to try to play a 2P game in ZSNES versions 1.36 and 1.42 with no luck. 2P works just fine in 1.51, but I need it to work in 1.36 and/or 1.42.

I've tried it on 2 different computers. No matter what, whichever gamepad is set under "Input #2", it's not seen once the game starts and I can only play 1P.

Is this a known issue with these versions or is there something I'm missing?

Try the gamepad under a different USB port/hub? That might make a difference.

I've tried all 4 ports in all different combinations - and on two separate computers with two separate OSs.

Also, I've tried it with multiple 2P games, so I don't think it's the ROMs.

Did you make sure that Gamepad/Joystick is listed under CDV. If it says "NONE", it is not enabled.

Problem solved! That was exactly it - the CDV was set to NONE. I hadn't even looked at it before, nor would I have known to.

So for Input #2, I had to highlight KEYB/JOYSTICK, click the SET button (which set it to some random keys), then re-map the gamepad with the SET KEYS button once CDV was set to KEYB/JOYSTICK".

I never used the SET button before. I guess the whole Input setup is different in 1.51.

Thanks very much! I've been searching for hours to solve this and this was my last resort.
