Summary: Joypad issues in Wine applications with Multi-tap USB devices Product: Wine Version: 1.1.7 Platform: Other OS/Version: other Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: zombie@terralab.com
I have an adapter that supports the Sega Genesis Multi-tap that allows up to four Sega Genesis Pads to be used on a single USB Port. It works fine under Linux, Not completely. Something is wrong.Under Linux, the device shows up as a Single Joystick device with 8 axis, and 32 Buttons. Not Four Joysticks. Now the real Windows separates this multi-tap into different joypads.
it uses standard Linux HID Device drivers.
Wine seems to recognize all the buttons, but only the first set of Axis' work. (So players 2 though four can't use Up, Down, Left, Right. Linux native applications seem to have no problem.
You can learn more about the device here. http://raphnet.net/divers/genesis_multitaps/index_en.php http://raphnet.net/divers/documentation/genesis_multitap.txt
