Use two instances of Dolphin with one controller each in parallel - grazy9999 - 12-15-2021
Hi there,
I set up sucessfully two instances of dolphin and connected one controller to each inctance. A broadband adapter (TAP) is set up for each instance of the dolphin. Now I run a game (Mario Kart) and connect via LAN successfully. The game starts each in a separate window. When I click on the window of dolphin instance #1 I can control the the game inside the window with the connected controller. But now I can not control the dolphin instance #2 in another window with the other controller. When I focus the window with dolphin instance #2 that game is controllable with the correct controller.
How is it possible to have multiple instances of dolphin "active" for input at the same time? Has anyone a solution for the problem? My goal is to set up two dolphin instances on one computer and play Mario Kart with 4 controllers on each instance.
I am happy about any suggestions.
Thanks in advance!

In the Controller config window, enable Background Input at the bottom.

That did the trick. Thank you very much.
