I put this here because took me too much time to find out a solution (if you can call it like that...), and maybe could be useful for someone else too.
When you have more than one Joystick/Gamepad connected to the PC them are always randomly switched, and you never know what will be the number 1...
(In my case I have an Arcade Gun and a Gamepad, and when them changes order it's a mess especially in games where you can't choose what you want to use... I'm looking at you SORR !!)
SOLUTION:
- In the START menu type "joy.cpl" and press [enter]
You'll see the list of all controllers
- press the "Advanced..." button
- select from the list the device you want as number one
- press OK and enjoy
The cool thing of joy.cpl is that you can also test/calibrate them...
I don't know if this trick can also be used to change the order of more than 2 devices, maybe setting them predefined one after another...
