Direct input & back-rounding

[eldragon0]

Not so much an issue, more so just something I'd like to be able to do. My wife like to use my laptop quite avidly on the big screen and I'm rather immersed in Soul Caliber 2. I was wondering if there was a way to set up the direct input to read controller information even if the game itself isn't in the foreground ?
I know when i go to GCpad setup in Dolphin it reads the inputs even if another window is open and being worked in. Yet once the game starts there's no response to the inputs at all. Any help would be much appreciated .

Check Background Input in GCPad settings.
