Re: Kites circuit sword: psp joystick question

Rather than start a new thread, I figured I'd post here since my questions are germane to psp joysticks, namely, I can't seem to get the second one working on my Circuit Sword (pre-order #4).
I soldered up 2 PSP joysticks as pictured previously on this thread, was able to calibrate one successfully (the "right" one, or "joystick 1") but the second one ("left" one/"joystick 2") can't be recognized. I've tried a few things already to troubleshoot it:
- swapped joysticks to see if, perhaps, my soldering was poor on one. Both joysticks work and calibrate fine in the "joystick 1" plug, still neither work in "joystick 2".
- tried calibrating with only joystick 2 plugged in, thinking something might be forbidding 2 joysticks working at the same time. Still didn't work.
- tried calibrating both joysticks at the same time. No dice.
- I've also put a fairly liberal amount of tape on the backs of the joystics as well as pad contacts on the front of the board to ensure nothing shorts.
So here are my questions. Is there something in the code that might be disabling/disallowing 2 joysticks by default? Is there a way to enable some sort of verbose or debugging mode so I can see the status of my connected joysticks? I hope I'm missing something obvious, or I'm afraid I might have a faulty board :/
