Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Hi, how are you guys?

I have a question that you can see on the Subject is very simple to answer.
If you don't know what i am talking about is for example:

Keyboard 1:
UP: W
DOWN: S
LEFT: A
RIGHT: D

Keyboard 2:
UP: W
DOWN: S
LEFT: A
RIGHT: D

Same thing on both. if its possible, can you help me to configure that? Ill appreciate that.

Thanks!

Unfortunately no, Windows treats all keyboards plugged in as the same keyboard, Dolphin doesn't have a way to differentiate between them.

You can setup different keys, but you just have to hope your brother doesn't mess with your keys

Your best bet is to find some controllers

You can use a combination of AutoHotKey (https://www.autohotkey.com/)
and
LuaMacros (https://github.com/me2d13/luamacros).

This will allow you to intercept a keyboard's entry (it can read the raw data stream bypassing windows "all keyboards are the same keyboard" nonsense). Then it assigns it a keyboard key that normally is not on a standard keyboard (like the F29 key, you can change these) and sends that to the Windows OS. Then you can bind that new key as the second player's inputs. All of this was originally designed for people who get way too serious about flight sim games and want all the controlls mapped. It is free, but is not easy to setup and will take a lot of work to get it correct. I don't particularly recomend this method, but it is the only method I know of to do what you want to do.
