Easiest way to use both 360 and Arcade controllers (at same time)?

[earthprime]

I play to use Hyperspin for both an Arcade Cabinet and a flat-screen sofa TV.  Both setups require different controllers - the cabinet uses an arcade board while the sofa TV uses a 360 controller.  Is there an easy way to configure two different controllers with Hyperspin, or do I need to create two different Hyperspin instances, each configured to it's own unique controller?

 

I haven't attempted Xpadder yet, perhaps thats the answer.

Use something like Xpadder. 

 

1. Plug in the 360 controller, configure the "map" on Xpadder, (where the buttons are)

2. Assign keys to each button on the controller. Remember them well.

3. Plug in the stick, map the controls, and use the same keys you used on your 360 controller.

 

Make sure Hyperspin uses those keys. Same goes with your emulators.

 

And there you go, almost controller-independent setup.

 

It's a bit more complicated than that but you get the idea. Rocketlauncher can load xpadder profiles on the fly depending on the system, emulator, or even game you're using.

 

Use a blank profile (no keys mapped to controls) for pc games or emulators that directly support joysticks.
