The id drift is occuring even using their ODK if you have a usb controller.keyboard plugged in when using the function getPlayerNumByDeviceId. I reported the id drift two months ago to OUYA - no move yet on their end.

What we really need to implement is if its just to use the getPlayerNumByDeviceId thingy -

1. A poll function to know what joystick devices are connected to the system at an instant T.
   in MainView.java we can put InputDevice.getDeviceIds() -> returns an array of connected devices.
   according to this array, we can get infos: device = InputDevice.getDeviceId() and trace its name with device.getName().
   implement this in a function call in OpenFL to get this array at any time,
   like extending nme.system with nme.system.Joysticks with a function of getConnectedJoysticks returning [[deviceId, StringId],[deviceId, StringId],[deviceIdN, StringIdN]]

2. Whenever a new device is connected, it pushes something in the pipe. Extending nme.events with NewJoystickConnected returning [deviceId,StringId]

I'll try to implement this.

I implemented the poll function and more - and simplified the overall process - we can ditch getPlayerNumByDeviceId totally. http://www.nme.io/download_file/592/8014/
