Controller problems

[Zambaku]

I've been playing Mugen and alot of other games with a 360 controller which works like a dream. Before I got the 360 controller I used a PS2 controller, and ocassionaly a ps3 controller. Now I have a friend that's coming for a visit and I was planning on that we could play together, so I dusted off my old ps2 controller, hooked it up to the usb wire and plugged it in, the "ding" sound came as it always does when I stuff the usb port The red light came on and I figured it was good to go. How wrong I was, the controller ain't responding at all! I tried both ports and no improvement...Same with the PS3 controller. So I figured I'd test it out on an emulator to see if it was Mugen that hated the playstation brand, and I got the same problem there, no responce! Have anyone else had any problems with playstation controllers that aren't responding? Is there a way to get them active? I tried downloading and testing a few drivers for the ps3 to no avail =/

I'm using Vista 32


Edit: I managed to fix the issue, now both controllers work perfectly, both the 360 and the ps2^^
Now, the only question is, how do I use both of them at the same time in Mugen? One for P1 and the other for P2?

I had a similar prob before, happens that a friend had installed some software that came along the USB pads, maybe for Windows 98 detection or something. After uninstalling all of it, all the pads started working again.

You could be having some conflict with some program that you installed for the controllers, USB pads shouldn't need any program to run, windows and vista should recognize them automatically if the USB ports are working properly.

lol nvm. You can configure the pads from the options menu in mugen, just be sure the Dpads detection there is set to "auto".

Hm, I've fixed the options, no problem there
However, player 2's controller stops responding when it's time to pick a character =/

Edit:
Humm, for no reason at all P2's controller started working, I tested pulling it out and putting it back in, still worked. Rebooted and it still works...How odd....Ah well, I don't care how it works as long as it does =D
