Snes9x wont recognize controllers

Post by captainawesome55 »

Hello

first off all excuse me for my spelling =P

well here is my problem, i'm using snes9x with this usb adapter

and when i attach one controller it works fine! but i if i want to add more controllers with my SNES-Multitap

http://gbatemp.net/pix/99161/Hudson_Multitap.jpg

it will only recognize the controller that is connected to the "player 2 port" of the multitap (on the multitap there is player 2,3,4 and 5)

i tried the option input > "use super multitap (5 player)" , and i have also selected 3-5 player on the multitap itself

is it even possible to use these two devices together?

hope someone can help me

does your USB adapter explicitly support the multitap?

That is probably the case unfortunately.

I would recommend getting the Tomee USB SNES controllers, as you don't need an adapter for them and they feel fairly similar to the original 1st party controllers.
