epsxe 1.7.0 - trouble with controller and keyboard setup

    hello,

    i am using epsxe 1.7.0 and have installed a speedlink controller called "strike gamepad" that
    is running via a usb-connection to my computer.

    running games with epsxe and this controller works like a charm (beautifully).

    configuring the gamepad with pad-port-1 was easy and worked fine.
    configuring the keayboard for pad-port-2 was easy and worked fine.

    epsxe 1.7.0 knows all the keys that i setup and everything should be fine ... but it is not:

    i run a game and the gamepad works great and everything is fine. now and then again
    i do require a second pad and for that i set up the keyboard to my needs because
    sometimes a keyboard is just faster than the gamepad.

    remembering the old playstation1, it used to have two ports for gamepads and i was
    under the impression that epsxe offered exactly that but there seems to be some kind
    of bug:

    in games i can only get the pad to work and the keyboard will not work.

    a good example would be the requirement in games like metal gear where a second
    controller can be helpfull but here i am only able to use the gamepad and not the
    keyboard at all.

    how can i set it up, that i can use both in gaming?

    i can post screenshots of settings and so on if required.

    kind regards and thanks for help in advance.

    hello,

    has no one got a minute to address this issue? run epsxe setup a controller that
    resembles the old playstation controller (possibly with dual shock) and then setup
    on pad number 2 the standard computer keyboard. (all this will work easily)

    then test it in a game.

    the controller works but if you want to use the keyboard which is defined as
    port number 2 or controller number 2 then it will not work.

    there must be someone who has the time to try this and find a solution to the
    problem. google does not seem to have any answers on that issue either.

    help would be much appreciated.

    kind regards
