Configuring epsxe for two players - controler problem
Hi,
I'm running epsxe under Ubuntu and am having problems configuring it of two players. I tried both omnijoy and padjoy but still no go.
I want to be able to play games in two player modes, one player on the keyboard and one on the gamepad (normal usb gamepad).
Multitap is off.
I configured keyboard on pad one, and gamepad in the padjoy on pad 2. But it still doesn't work in games (Tekken3, THPS4, GT2,...), whatever combination of controllers I try I can never get the result I want, at best both of controlers (keyboard and gamebad) control only player one.....
Should I configure both throu joypad? and what should the device for keyboard be then?
Thanks in advance...

Is there a way to use the keyboard as two controllers with epsxe? I've tried configuring it to work as two separate controllers, but I figured I'd ask for some advice to make sure it can/can't be done.
Easy have 2 seperate Controls mind you this is for Laptops without a Numpad even though I have a Numpad and you might have a Desktop Keyboard or a Laptop with a Numpad. I also think you have to have completely different controls. Also May have to use the "MultiTap" feature.

i thought Windows PCs only have a technical limit of 3 simultaneous key presses at a time, no? something like that.
It's a hardware limitation, not a software limitation. Ergo: it depends on the keyboard.
Masta I thought that was a ps/2 limitation and that usb keyboards didnt have it
The keys press down on a matrix of rows and columns. Certain keys share individual rows and columns. Pressing these keys simultaneously will cancel out one or both of them.
PS/2 keyboards do have a physical limitation of up to 3 keys because of the connector.
USB keyboards can have the same matrix issues. Most of them use a combination of sub-matrices and large key press buffers. "Gaming" keyboards will have individualized keys and large buffers.
In short, just having a USB keyboard does not guarantee that you won't experience simultaneous key press issues.

Ok I got that now. Thanks for the lesson Masta. I remembered that PS/2 had that limitation couldnt remember what usb could do with it tho.
this works like a charm. thank you!go to config in epsxe, then game pad. For player 1 use port 1 pad 1 and for player 2 use port 2 pad 1
