Only works on first controller port about maplepad HOT 6 CLOSED

MaplePad is mostly for portablizing where only controller 1 is used, but the code handles different port addresses so it should work. I will try to reproduce the failure on my setup. Maybe MVC2 is doing something weird or there's a bug in my subperipheral packets.

Have you made any modifications to the code?

OK, I solved the issue by reworking how the port number is handled in the "Absolute Position" field of the data packets. I tested in MVC2 and the VS menu is working as expected with OEM controller in Port A and MaplePad in Port B.

Here's the ad-hoc build I'm testing with. Please let me know if you're able to verify the fix on your hardware. Be warned: I'm right in the middle of implementing a bunch of new features, so use it at your own risk.

Thank you! Will test this today and report back.

Alright, that worked! I have two MaplePads on and versus mode stays on. It looks like the new version is sending random directional inputs at random times, but I have the board wired to an arcade stick so it could be that some directions are wired to ground. I'll test it more later!

Cool, glad to hear it worked. Just FYI, the software is still very much in development and isn't ready for general use yet. The build I sent is set up to use an analog stick and analog triggers with calibration data stored in the flash memory, among other things.

Eventually I can work on a version that emulates a real arcade stick (HKT-7300) using a stock Pico, but right now I'm focused on more portablizing-focused things like a settings menu on the VMU, guided calibration for sticks and triggers, etc.

Yeah, it's not really usable at the moment since the stick has random inputs but you figured out how to make it work for 2p! Excellent work! Can't wait for the release!

I'm building a Dreamcast to arcade cabinet adapter and using these pi pico MaplePad boards for controls. I'm happy to run it in single player for now. Thank you!
