i do have a p1 and select button just not listed as not wired them up. just trying to get any of p2 controls working first.

that didnt work… i tried pasting that into the Xin-Moxin-MoDualArcade.cfg
restarted retropie and tried playing a game with no luck. my first player controls didnt even work.

i reverted it back and tried pasted that at the bottom of the retroarch.cfg but again still no luck.

i think the issue im having is retropie thinking that the xin-mo is one controller as its only connected via 1 cable. ive seen some guides and tried following but i need it in simple terms.
