Mapping Keyboard to 2 controllers

[abattrick]

So it's been a couple years and many of us are lookign for this feature still? How do we split one keyboard into 2 virtual controllers for arcade setups. Please guys this is a needed feature. So many arcade enthusiasts would use your software if you added this. I too bought it thinking I could and no apparently still not possible?

Hello,

I see now. Unfortunately, no, there is no option to create multiple virtual controllers from a single physical device. 1 physical device = 1 virtual controller. But we know about this feature and will try to add it to one of the next releases.

Thanks for the reply, but I think you misunderstood what Im trying to accomplish. Or rather, I explained it poorly.

I have one physical keyboard that I would like to map to 2 seperate virtual 360 controllers. This way, both player 1 and player 2 use the same keyboard.

A lot of arcade controllers are actually keyboard emulators. In my scenerio, I have an IPAC which is basically a keyboard board connected to 2 sets of joysticks and arcade buttons.

ReWASD lets me map the IPAC to a single virtual 360 controller, and Im wondering if its its possible to map to multiple virtual 360 controllers at the same time. This is actually a fairly common situation MAME enthusiasts run into.

Hello,
Thank you for your question.

To use 2 controllers as the single one you may group them first https://help.rewasd.com/how-to-remap...f-devices.html. After that, you need to add second gamepad sub config - > do mappings - > apply the created configs - > play a game. I put some steps this link, please, check it.

I just purchased REWASD thinking I could map my keyboard to 2 separate controllers, so player 1 and 2 can use the same keyboard. It's actually an IPAC arcade controller that emulates a keyboard.

I can't figure out if this is possible, however, since it only activates one config at a time per device...

Any help?
