Gamepad configuration

This bug has been lingering on the Wiki TODO pages, not sure why no ticket was created about it.

It was reported to me that :
The game may not allow you to configure bindings for gamepads other than the first one.

I have no idea if this is still the case, but creating a ticket so we may verify, since I don't recall fixing that

Hi, I just thought I would confirm this bug. On Windows, at least, the entire joystick driver is detected as a single joystick, given the name "Microsoft PC-joystick driver". The game treats all controllers as if they were the same controller; for example, pressing button 1 on the first controller has the same effect as pressing button 1 on the second controller.

Needless to say, this is a major problem for multiplayer, since it only allows one player to use a joystick/gamepad. It can kind of be solved with applications like Joy2Key, but it forces a loss of any analog control the game could have otherwise used.

Hi onpon4,

this is a different issue than the one discussed in this ticket (admittedly the description isn't too clear), but a very troublesome one indeed. I created another ticket for this : https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/supertuxkart/ticket/82

This is outdated and we haven't received other reports. So I assume as of 0.7.1 it's not a problem anymore
