Joystick Recommendation For Altirra & Windows 10 Without A Driver Install

[erichenneke]

 

Just tried here, with two 2600-daptors, and it is accepting binding from both. This is with an older Altirra version 2.3, on XP. What version and win are you running?

 

EDIT: Also tried latest Altirra 3.10 on Win 10, and also worked - accepting binding from both 2600-daptors.

 

Ok, i figured out what i was missing.

 

I was not explicitly choosing a "Game Controller" in the Altirra Input map setup dialog. So I was just letting those default to "Any".

 

I realize now that if you select the pull down menu for "Game Controller" then the multiple unique 2600-daptors show up as Game controller 1 and Game controller 2.

 

I set up Stick port 1 by setting Game Controller to "Game controller 1 [2600-daptor II]" and binded each movement.

 

Then I did the same for Stick port 2 setting Game Controller to "Game controller 2 [2600-daptor II]" and binded each movement again.

 

Now it's working great for 2-player action.

 

 

Incidentally I was using Altirra 3.10 on Win Xp.

 

Ok... time for some Archon, and then maybe some War Room !!
