Double controller on SNES emulator problem

[BearWasTaken]

Good day. So I figured i should remember the good ol' days playing SNES, and ended up here. The emulator I downloaded works great (ZNES 1.51), and everything is working fluid. However, today I purchased two identical cheap-*** USB controllers to bring that nostalgic feeling up a notch. Connected both to my PC, restarted, and now i'm facing a problem: the emulator assumes player 1 and player 2 both use controller #1. When I go to "config>input" and set keys for "input device #1", I push everything accordingly on controller #1 and same for "input device #2" (I then push every button on controller #2, and the emulator captures them just as fine). However, when I start a two player game (Mario Bros - Allstars to be exact), both Mario and Luigi are only responding to Controller #1 So there is NO WAY MY GIRLFRIEND AND I CAN FULLY ENJOY MARIO-BROS 3 PVP MINIGAMES, WHICH ANNOYS ME MORE THAN IT SHOULD. Help please! PC captures both controllers just fine. Thanks!

Anyone? :/ same happens if I set up keys for device #1 using a controller, and for #2 - using keyboard. Still both players are controlled using device #1 only. I'm surprised noone has faced such problems before, or am I simply missing something obvious?

I know this works ok in ZSNES, while you wait try out Snes9X though

I don't have time to do any tests just at the moment myself

As Zorlon said, I would highly recommend giving Snes9x a shot. I've personally had issues getting two identical controllers to work properly in zsnes (xbox 360 controllers specifically), and IME Snes9x plays games just as well as, if not better than, zsnes.

The emulator I downloaded works great (ZNES 1.51)

On the final release they actually broke it, many games will crash/freeze etc.
