WARNING: semi-advanced question, need help from an expierienced user!
Is it possible? I do that for eSPXe to run 2 player PS1 games so I don't completely understand why it doesn't work for this emulator as it seems far superior to eSPXe. Here's exactly what I did;
First, I went onto Dolphin and mapped pad1 and pad2 to random buttons on my keyboard (excluding any of the "default" buttons) with the device input of device/0/keyboard mouse, hoping to map them (players 1 and 2) to controllers later on through Pinnacle game profiler.
Second, I configured pad3 with the default settings for device input device/0/keyboard mouse as I'm intending for them (3rd player) to play with the keyboard and mouse (NONE of the button configs for pad1, pad2 or pad3 are the same).
Third, I went onto Pinnacle game profiler and configured a Dolphin profile for 2 controllers and mapped them to the same inputs as pad1 and pad2 and ran them simultaneously.
Fourth, I opened warioware inc. for a test run to see if all 3 would run properly.
It turns out pad1 worked fine synced from Pinnacle game profiler to the keyboard controls on Dolphin, but it says "Please connect other controllers" when I try to start a multiplayer game. My question is, how do I get Dolphin to read both the controllers and the keyboard as 3 separate controllers, even though I have the 2 controllers mapped to the keyboard while player 3 uses the keyboard?
BTW this is all for the Gamecube, not the Wii, just to clear any confusion there.
Thank you very much in advance to anyone with any helpful information on this!!
