Emulator

*correction
Pad2Plugin = Plugins/Plugin_nJoy_SDL_Test.dll
Pad3Plugin = Plugins/Plugin_Wiimote.dll < there should be a GC
pad plugin here

you should delete that SDL_Test plugin you have there :)

I know it's not working. Just a way to showing that it happens even if I manually
modify the ini file to use multiple pad plugins and open/close Dolphin.

Now something interesting, if i write anything to DSPPlugin:
DSPPlugin = test
Pad1Plugin = Plugins/Plugin_PadSimple.dll
Pad2Plugin = Plugins/Plugin_PadSimple.dll

open/close dolphin
this happens
DSPPlugin = test
Pad1Plugin = Plugins/Plugin_PadSimple.dll
Pad2Plugin = test

Same goes for Pad3Plugin reflecting the Wiimote1Plugin

can you test with r4754, r4755?

AHA! Changing the MAXPADS define back to 4 did it.

While you're at it, check this patch. It lets you pick what pad plugin to choose for
each individual player without going to the ini files, Although the [Config...]
button still redirects to Pad1 config.

Patch includes the MAXPADS thing.

Besides, MAXPADS and MAXWIIMOTES are defined to be 1. No matter what you do, Dolphin
will (should) not use anything else than Pad1Plugin and WiiMote1Plugin.

With r4789, theres nothing in the code that obviously changes that. If anything does,
its a rather well-hidden bug, overwriting memory.

Hmm, didn't see that reply before. I'm not so sure if changing the MAXPADS define to
something else is that useful. Especially since there is not mapping between the
controllers connected in the GC tab and the Pad Plugins you just patched.

It did fix my issue, also, ConfigMain uses MAXPADS a couple of times there to
check out what plugins are assigned to individual pads.
Setting it to 1 (as of r4755) kills the Multi Pad Plugin feature.

with the changes in r4755, only the first pad plugin would be unloaded...

Fixed in r4791
