I'm trying to get a two player game working with two XBox 360 wireless controllers. I can remap the controllers and they work in game- but if I decide to play said game single player without the second controller DOSBox crashes on launch. I know it's the remap file that's causing the problem because if I delete it DOSBox launches just fine. It also works fine as long as both controllers are plugged in. . .

Any thoughts on how I can solve this problem?

A quick and dirty solution might be to have 2 DOSBox shortcuts. One vanilla, the other run using a custom .cfg with your 2 player mapper. Use the later only when you have both controllers plugged in.

Did you map the d-pad? That's a known problem, so leaving the d-pad alone should work around that for the time being.
