      Hi all, I have 2 USB controllers mapped as player1 and player2 respectively. I would like to add 2 gamepads as well, also mapped to player 1 and player2 respectively (all 4 controllers connected at the same time), so that the player can use the controller that matches better the game. In this scenario player1 will be able to control the game at the same time with arcadestick1 and/or joypad1 and player2 will be able to control the game at the same time with arcadestick2 and/or joypad2. Is anything like that possible?

        in theory, an ipac acting as a keyboard can control player one simultaneously with the usb controller for player 1, i dont know about player two

          Thinking again, once I have all 4 controllers configured and buttons mapped, I could modify the udev rules so that Joy1 and pad1 are both mapped as js0 while joy2 and pad2 are both mapped as js1. Any clue if that would work or create a conflict?
