2 player arcade mode with each usb gamepad

[Madsen]

Hello!

Untill today i've always played tyrian 2 player arcade with one player on the keyboard and one on the mouse, but now i just got myselfe two usb gamepads.

Looking forward playing two player where we can both sit down in the sofa, with each handcontroller and finally play tyrian on the homecinema.

BUT it didnt work... looks like only one player may use the joystick...

Are there any way to fix this? or are there any program that can "mount" the usb controller to act like a keyboard? (e.g you tell the program that this "up on the controller" is the same as this "up arrow keyboard", so that when you push up on the controller, the game/windows registrates "up arrow" push)

Hopes that somebody has the same problem and killed it by coming up with a solution!

I believe there are many Joystick -> Keyboard mappers but I don't know any from the top of my head. You could try googling.

googling is always a good solution.
