How to use Multiple Gamepads?

[bigronstud266]

Hello,
Is there a way to use multiple gamepads on one computer? I have tried before but can only get one to work at a time. Am I just doing something wrong?
Thanks for your help,
Ron

The easiest thing to do is to but Gamepads with a USB port and just plug them in. They should install automatically and you'll be able to use them in all games supporting pads. And of course being usb you can fit as many as you like, depending how many ports you have on your pc.

If you dont have any usb ports then you'll have to use a gamepad with a serial port connector, Some makes, like the Gravis Gamepad Pro's can be daisy chained together so you can use loads of them. Their connectors all plug into the back of each other.

Yes, I had an original sidewinder that had the daisy chain and it worked very well for a friend and I, we played all the old SNES games we used to love 2player all through the night.

(NOTE: I have all the carts of these games in my basement, so I'm not discussing anything illegal.)

If you want to play games like streetfighter on your machine you want original (gameport) sidewinders and daisy chain them - the USB ones are good but it makes it almost impossible to do moves like hadokens etc because they page far too quickly - I love my sidewinders they are truly excellent pads
