Hi everyone. i have been looking for a way to get input from multiple devices, say, player one has his own controller, p2 also... and so on, but! i got stuck as soon as i noticed that dgdk has only support for one gamepad. is there a way around this? i know a way for multiple different controllers, but when i have two controllers of the same type i cannot set them up... (dgdk cannot tell the difference between joystick and joystick... (both their names are the same) so, i was wondering if anyone would like to share their wisdom with any API or some other engine that is compatible with multiple gamepads... an example program would be nice too.

I would implement the Xbox 360 controller. It has multi-controller support, and is extremely easy to integrate.
