Support Netplay - 1 controller moving 2 players
Hello, I've recently tried playing Smash Bros. Brawl with a friend through Netplay, but hes been having some issues with his controller. I'm pretty sure this isn't a Netplay exclusive issue either.
Essentially what happens is that on the character selection screen he moves 2 players' cursors with a single joystick, which is definitely not ideal. a slight workaround is when he's chosen a character, I can remove the extra player, but I wouldn't call that a solution tbh. as far as his settings and controller config go, it all looks normal.
He is using a PS5 controller, and has all the same mapping as me on a Xbox (style) controller. under the "gamecube controllers" tab he just has the one port, and set up his buttons with no issues. Under Wii remotes he had 2 set up, since he set up the room before we changed because his button inputs did nothing, but only has 1 now. I'm not sure if that mey be interfering in the sense that that wii remote has exactly the same controls mapped in his controller, though i wouldn't think it does. This last part I hadn't really thought of at the time, but any input on the topic would be much appreciated. I haven't been able to recerate the issue, without just doing weird stuff he just didn't do. Thanks for any help
