4 joystick setup?

[bobbalou]

How does one set up 4 or more joysticks in HyperSpin?

Same way you set up one joystick... Not in hyperhq! Lol

All controls for games should be done in their respective emulators.

Unless I am misunderstanding what you mean. You just want all four controllers to be able to navigate hyperspin? I could see this sorta being useful, but I can also see it wreaking havoc if u have 4 people trying to control it at the same time!

Thanks, I've been looking more into this. It really appears that one should use joytokey with RocketLauncher from what I'm gathering. I guess my headache right now is that RocketLauncher is changing profiles just fine when HyperSpin starts, but when I start HyperSpin without going through RL, the profile is not loaded and joystick controls don't work.

 

I'm wondering if I should somehow use joytokey without RL profiles and just define them in itself.  Or is this really not a concern?  Will most emulators handle 4 joysticks well enough without needing joytokey?

I have a tutorial here on site to help set up joytokey. I think rocketlauncher may have changed slightly since I wrote it though. I think there is a spot to select joytokey as the default front end profile which does not get mentioned in the tutorial.

Of course, you have other options. There are many keymappers/profilers to choose from... All of which are fine if you are just sticking to mame and some consoles on your rig. If you want to setup "pc games" or the "exodos" set, then you will definitely want to use either xpadder or joytokey for proper rocketlauncher integration. This will allow you to have per game profiles instead of just per system profiles.

Any questions, just shout. I will do my best to help.
