Well thank you MrThunderwing

I didn't even know that it was possible to connect a network like this.(Live)

Great, I'll try

Hi Developer's
Can I write a request for additional functions here?

Xinput (InputSystem = xinput) can also be controller input in non-focus windows
I want you to be able to input controller to both direct input and non-focus window

I think it will be useful for link play that launches multiple instances on one PC

Unfortunately I don’t think we have any control over this. I believe that is determined by the OS. I could be wrong but someone would have to show us how to do it.

Thank you for your reply
I'm not a programmer so I might be writing something irrelevant

First of all reading other people's posts I noticed a mistake
It's SDL input, not direct input

DuckStation of PlayStation emulator can select input backend from direct input, X input, SDL
Any backend accepts controller input for non-focus windows
It may be limited to Windows, but there seems to be a way
DuckStation

In SDL, if you use "SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_ALLOW_BACKGROUND_EVENTS", it seems that you can input the controller even in the non-focus window.
SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_ALLOW_BACKGROUND_EVENTS
https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_ALLOW_BACKGROUND_EVENTS

It seems that direct input can be input to the controller in the non-focus window as well as X input.
Or there seems to be a method such as "Set Cooperative Level Method"

Have you heard of NucleusCoop?

I don't think this is the right way to do it, but I tried rewriting line 1303 in "\ Src \ OSD \ Windows \ DirectInputSystem.cpp"
Changed to accept controller input even in non-focus window

Since it is branched by "if statement", if you describe Supermodel.ini correctly, I think that controller input will be accepted even in a non-focus window.
But I couldn't write it correctly

Hi,

Own original hardware Sega Model 3 (Daytona Usa 2).
When I start the game in the test menu and set the game to (Special)
The game detects 2 graphics processors.

The supermodel in the test menu detects only one graphics processor.
Probably a well-known thing and adding emulation of a second graphics processor would certainly slow down work on weaker PCs.
(I just confirm that Model 3 contains 2 Graphics Processors)

[Ian]

Yes you are right sonic. Not sure how we could add a second but not sure it would actually make much difference to emulation.

[gm_matthew]

Step 1.x games use one graphics processor while Step 2.x games use two.

It probably wouldn't be that difficult to enable Step 2.x games to detect two processors, but none of them seem to complain when they detect only one so there's not much motivation to put the work in beyond getting a "two processors detected" or "daughter board detected" message at start-up

Bart any chance you can look at car colisions for scud and wall and car collisions for SR2 and daytona2 in the future? Sorry if this is not rhe right channel to ask.
