I got it all working again as I did before; in other words by only using two wireless PS3 controllers with xinput via a hacked bluetooth driver. If I switch to one or two of my Xbox One gamepads before starting WinUAE, I suppose the gamepads may or may not work. It would depend on the controller identity. Sticking to my old setup (two PS3 controllers) is my only option for now.
My recommendation to users of Media Center software (Kodi /w Advanced Launcher as I personally use) configured for emulators that also have 4 Xbox One gamepads available, is to have two of them dedicated to WinUAE. Preferably numbering them with a sticker for player 1 and 2 on the back.
Again thanks for taking the time to reply to these posts
