Can't get sceond Xbox 360 controller to work in MAME

[nwprecipice]

I am running MAME .153 with Hyperspin and RocketLauncher.  I can get both of my wireless xbox 360 controllers working in Hyperspin but both default to one controller in MAME games.  The second controller is unresponsive inside the games.  I am running both controllers through a official Microsoft receiver.

Any help would be so appreciated.  This is maddening!

As you probably know you need to set up your controllers by hitting tab in game and setting them for p1 & p2. It's then a good idea to copy the code from the cfg file to a control file (ctrlr) as the config files get overwritten. 

However someone has kindly done the work for you and you can find the info here.

Thanks for the reply.

I've got this script installed (except for the joy detection ahk (not sure where that goes).  In game, looks like both controllers are configged at the general input level.  Joy 1 for player 1 controls and Joy 2 for player 2 controls.  Both joysticks still default to the one controller.  So I can play Player 1 and Player 2 but on one controller.  The second controller is not responding though I would expect it to be.  Am I missing something.  Thanks again.

Sorry I'm not sure what the joy detection ahk is, why you need to install it or where it would go.

I always set game pads up in the emulator and only used Rocketlauncher xpadder profiles for C64 a Spectrum.

Perhaps some one else knows or over at the RL forum.
