Wireless 360 Controller Issue

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm using four wireless Xbox controllers. For some reason, the SDL numbers are 
not corresponding to the order in which the controllers are activated. There 
doesn't seem to be any logic behind the way in which they are being polled.

After a few tests, I've found out that when all four controllers are activated, 
the polling order is as follows:

1: SDL 2
2: SDL 1
3: SDL 0
4: SDL 4

So the player numbers, in order, go 3,2,1,4 every time. I will attempt to 
reproduce this problem on another system.

Nevermind, I found the problem, and it's with the Windows OS. In Windows there 
is an option for "Preferred Device" under "Advanced Settings" in the joystick 
properties. I'm not sure if the drop-down list is backwards, but the very last 
controller in the list needs to be selected. Selecting the first causes it to 
be dropped down a notch in the SDL list every time a new controller is 
activated.

So you are basically  saying that this is a windows problem?

Yeah, it was a mix-up in the Windows device manager configuration. Turns out it 
had nothing to do with Mupen. Thanks!
