      I leave it always connected and was considering that but I also use Daphne and think I will run into a similar problem because Daphne wants to use the first game pad.

        That's very true. Daphne was actually the reason I started learning how to use xboxdrv to begin with.

          I actually emailed the developer of CoolCV and it does appear to be a limit of the emulator. He said he'll try to get it addressed in the next code change. Cool indeed.

            @amdpower its funny, i am a beta tester for oscar. I suppose i could have just asked him... he is probably one of the coolest retro game programmers there are. I honestly dont know how he has time for a wife and kid and a job with how much he programs for retro systems.

              I'm a big fan of his homebrew titles as well. He seems like a nice guy.

                  @Rion coolcv is really easy to set up the controller in the config file. I would not use any other emulator myself but the only other one i would recommend is bluemsx. Not sure if the libretro version plays coleco games.

                    @edmaul69 bluemsx for libretro sadly don't play Colecovision yet. There was a issue about it on libretro github but that was a long time ago.

                    Probably just me that want to use shaders and overlays so i can get that retro feeling.

                        @Rion bluemsx-libretro runs them just fine... they just don't have working controller hooks yet. So you can't even get one working let alone two.

                          I did not know that. To bad about the input would love some bezel and shader support.
