OpenBor v3.0 build 6391 April 08 2020
6391 is the latest Official build of Openbor.
The engine has suffered problems with controllers for a long time now,
Use this guide as an aid when playing this game, or any other game using the official build.
The main problem is "input crossover" & here are some examples of what is going on:
----------------------------------
2 controllers
detects controller 1 as P1, but controls player 2´s inputs
detects controller 2 as P2, but controls player 1´s inputs
In a nutshell, when there are 2 controllers present on your system
you have to use Setup player 1 & controller 1, to map controller 2´s buttons
you have to use Setup player 2 & controller 2, to map controller 1´s buttons
-----------------------------------
3 controllers
detects controller 1 as P1, but controls player 3´s inputs
detects controller 2 as P2, works as intended
detects controller 3 as P3, but controls player 1´s inputs
In a nutshell, when there are 3 controllers present on your system
you have to use Setup player 1 & controller 1, to map controller 3´s buttons
you have to use Setup player 2 & controller 2, to map controller 2´s buttons
you have to use Setup player 3 & controller 3, to map controller 1´s buttons
-----------------------------------
4 controllers
detects controller 1 as P1, but controls player 4´s inputs
detects controller 2 as P2, but controls player 3´s inputs
detects controller 3 as P3, but controls player 2´s inputs
detects controller 4 as P4, but controls player 1´s inputs
In a nutshell, when there are 4 controllers present on your system
you have to use Setup player 1 & controller 1, to map controller 4´s buttons
you have to use Setup player 2 & controller 2, to map controller 3´s buttons
you have to use Setup player 3 & controller 3, to map controller 2´s buttons
you have to use Setup player 4 & controller 4, to map controller 1´s buttons
Warning for dual adapter users:
if by any chance one of the dual adpater's port is considered a 5th controller ,
or one of the other controllers goes beyond Windows order #5, it won't be detected
Visual aid: coming later
keep in mind that you may have to erase the .cfg files in the save folders as a last resort if controllers don't get mapped correctly...
that means setting up the video options & sound volume , etc all over again
