So I got Pikmin 2 and Super Smash bros working fine on my dolphin. Problem is I can't get multi-player to work.

No matter what the second controller is not responding at all. How do I get 2 or more controllers to work?

ensure you have the second controller enabled and your buttons mapped under the GCPAD button. Then find the Dolphin.ini file. goto user folder then Config folder. inside you can open the dopphin.ini file with notepad. go to the end of the opened file you should find the following:

SIDevice0 = 150994944
SIDevice1 = 8
SIDevice2 = 8
SIDevice3 = 8


Change to the following:
SIDevice0 = 150994944
SIDevice1 = 150994944
SIDevice2 = 8
SIDevice3 = 8

Save the change and exit dolphin if it is running. restart dolphin. Try not to edit for more controllers than you are using at the time. some games will wait for a response from the newly activated devices.

What about on MAC computers?
Where we should find the config file?

You don't have to manually edit any config files..
Just set Port 2 to "Standard Controller" within Dolphin's main config dialog. (gamecube tab)

thats great thanks for the info. I myself seem to be incapable of accomplishing that task and have always had to edit my config. and to the mac user i don't know, but apparently it is much easier than i make it.

hey all, new here. but love the work. I miss my gamecube…

anyways, I can't get 2 controllers working either.
after much fighting I got one working well.
but the best I can do is get the same one working for both player 1 and 2.
the other wireless controller can program the gamepad settings too so I know it sees it.
you mention the .ini which is interesting and tried that with no luck.

also it sees my controller 2 as #1 so I thought of using device id 5 and nope… see below

here's mine now and tried various things for device 2…

SIDevice0 = 6
SIDevice1 = 6
SIDevice2 = 0
SIDevice3 = 0

any advice, would be cool to play 2 player. I think it's a device id thing too.
but maybe I'll just buy another controller to select it directly?

also all new 4.0.x version don't load the video backend on my mac, is this still known?
I'm using 3.5

thanks for any help

Please make your own thread for issues in the future. On old builds you won't receive much help, but you probably need to go into options/configure/GameCube tab and make sure two controllers are plugged in.

Locking for necroposting.
