I've been rebuilding my HTPC recently in order to accommodate emulators, and I've hit on an inconvenience.
I've got a wired xbox360 controller hooked up, and it works fine in xbmc. It also works fine when I launch, say, mednafen via Advanced Launcher.
The problem is, even though xbmc is minimized, it keeps responding to gamepad input. This means, while I'm playing an emulator, it's only a matter of time before I play a movie, reboot the box, reconfigure something, etc.
Is there a way to prevent this besides disabling joystick/gamepad support? Alternatively, is there a way to toggle joystick/gamepad support from the command line so I could disable it before launching the emu and then turn it back on when it exits? I have looked at the JSON doc, but don't see anything relevant.
