SMBX Does not see x360 controllers?

[Sorn]

I have a arcade setup with 4 joysticks (xinmo) and 4 xbox360 controllers. When I go to configure the controller it only gives me the option between keyboard or joystick. When I select joystick it defaults to my 1player joystick. It does not allow me to configure my 2P joystick, which would be nice since its not letting me use my 360 controllers.

Is there a way to manually configure SMBX to use my 360 controllers? Its really bad to unplug anything from the system as windows has funky usb mapping and if I remove any controllers while this PC is on I can say goodbye to my dozens of other mappings on my emulators. These controllers work fine on my laptop with smbx, so just unsure how to get it configured on my main retro arcade box.

Any advice or help is appreciated!

I think the problem is related to the version of the game you're playing. I am currently using version 2.0.0 and I have no such problems.

This sounds a lot like you're working with either 1.3 or 38A. SMBX2 has a completely overhauled controller system, and has ingame hotswitching, that should allow you to play multiplayer with separate controllers.
