Hi,
I planned to travel and really want to play with my little boy during the trip to introduce him to video games, so I try to connect my usb gamepad on the Pandora.
First, I need a USB Hub to make my gamepad works, If it's directly plug on the Pandora it's not recognized. Pandora only support USB 2
device directly, so USB Hub is needed to support usb 1 devices.
I first tried PicoDrive, because I know that it works on other handled like Caanoo.
Good point: the game pad is present on controler config menu and I can configure "Player 2 control" with the USB gamepad.
Bad point: There is a kind of conflict with the onboard controller and the usb gamepad, it seems that all controls are shared between the 2 controllers, so when I press "right" on the USB gamepad, both player 1 and 2 go to "right", and it's the same for buttons.
It's strange because if I press onborad DPad, only player 1 is moving. Can't find a way to make it works.
Then I tried FBA, but nothing was reconized here.
I didn't test much, but now I want to share here, does anybody else test that ? on which Emus ?
Pandora has the potential to have 2 players emulation on the go, that's a fucking awesome feature. It's a shame that it doesn't already works on Emus like FBA, SNES, Picodrive or Mame.
So this post is a call to all of you who are interested to have 2 players on the go, what can we do to make 2 players as easy as just plug your gamepad and play ?
