Hey guys,
New here and had a question. Is it possible to hook up a USB hub and multiple USB controllers with an emulator to allow multiple people to play games? Seems like this combined with TV out would make the Pandora a great portable console.
Cheers,
Mike
USB hub with external controllers for multiple players?

iControlPad much? 
Although it might be a little more expensive than USB controllers... and by a little I mean a lot.
The main problem I have with this, is finding 3 friends who want to play Micro Machines.

I'm at work so I can try later but if you hit tab while in a game it brings up the same menu as on my PC with mame and I've always been able to configure other joysticks through that menu.but no usb gamepads (maybe it does, but i can get to map keys, do you?)

Speaking of multiplayer with emulators, do any of these emulators support wifi/bluetooth Pandora to Pandora multiplayer play? I always thought that would be awesome.

There's a "save config" option somewhere.

mednafen (nes, pc engine, sega master system, others) supports net play as well as usb gamepads- and probably bluetooth pads as well.

Yes I know, there's "save config" and "save config for current game" but neither seem to do any good.
