I've followed all the instructions on this wiki page. It works, except that inactive windows do not receive input from their respective controllers. Only the active VBA window receives input making multiplayer impossible. I've read three threads on the VBM forums about this issue with no answers. Actually, everyone claims to have figured it out and didn't say how they fixed it. How can I get all controllers to receive input?

After a great deal of google searching a kind soul (Skid) on the dolphin forums pointed me to the solution. It's a driver issue. The newer Xbox One drivers break background input functionality and it's been that way for quite some time it seems. Here is his post:
