Multi-controller USB adapters reports controllers wrongly on Mac OS X
tested 3 different devices:
- EMS Trio Linker Plus II - 1 GameCube port + 1 Dreamcast port + 1 PlayStation port
- Dual SNES Adapter - 2x Super NES ports
- Mayflash GameCube Controller Adapter (PC mode) - 4x GameCube ports
(I think all of them are made by Mayflash)------------
The problem:
Any of the listed devices show a multiple controllers correctly on Windows but a single monolithic Controller on Mac.
On Windows it shows everything correctly and separated.
On Mac everything works but as if there is a single device with 40+ buttons, 10+ axes, 4+ hats.
with the exception of EMS Trio Linker Plus II, it reports more than one device on Windows no matter the number of connected controllers (including no one).
Similar issue, maybe: https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/8187
This is an issue I noticed long time ago, but tested recently and it still persists.
