Topic: Xin-mo usb 2P axis problem
Hi,
I’ve managed to use 2 players with pifba but…the 2nd player axis are controlling the 1P axis too :(
I’ve used jstest and I saw that all buttons are present but there is only 2 axis (0 and 1) and both joysticks uses that same axis.
Is that a xin mo driver problem ? Anyone has the same thing ?
Thanks ;)
Topic: X-Arcade Advice
Hi,
I recently purchased a 2 player X-arcade stick (the one without the trackball).
The x-arcade stick is the older model that has a PS2 connection rather than USB.
My goal is to mount a RPi inside the x-arcade stick.
My question is should I use a PS2->USB adapter and also mount that inside the x-arcade or should I buy a control block adapter and use that instead of using PS2 at all?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Topic: 12 button custom joystick
hello,
I’ve made my custom joystick with 12 buttons and a usb interface from ebay. It works fine but my problems start when the layout and controller configuration does no suit for all the emulators available in retropie.
Is it possible to change the layout for each emulator?I’ve seen this on the net and would be nice to have a feature like this on retropie.
thanks!!
Here’s a quick rundown to get the neGcon controller working with Pcsx-Rearmed/RetroPie.
You’ll need the latest version of the PSX emulator for neGcon support. Update the lr-pcsx-rearmed emulator with the RetroPie Setup menu. Select build from source and wait a couple of minutes till it’s ready.
Connect the neGcon with a PSX-to-USB Controller Adapter to your Raspberry Pi. If all goes well you will be able to configure the neGcon buttons with emulationstation. Select ‘Configure Input’, assign some buttons (we need to edit the file later) and select OK. Now track down the config file that emulationstation has written for the USB adapter, it should be in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/. Edit the file and replace the button layout with this configuration:
input_start_btn = "9" input_r_y_plus_axis = "-1" input_r_y_minus_axis = "+1" input_r_x_minus_axis = "-0" input_r_x_plus_axis = "+0" input_l2_axis = "-2" input_r_btn = "7" input_a_btn = "1" input_x_btn = "0" input_up_btn = "h0up" input_down_btn = "h0down" input_left_btn = "h0left" input_right_btn = "h0right" input_enable_hotkey_btn = 9 input_menu_toggle_btn = "0" input_reset_btn = "h0left" input_exit_emulator_btn = "h0up"Now for the last step you need to tell the emulator that a neGcon is connected, since it’s not automatically detected. Start a Playstation game and open the RGUI menu, browse to Quick Menu -> Core Options -> Pad 1 Type and select negcon.
Happy Racing!
I am slowly, but surely getting everything working in my RetroPie.
Right now, my current hurdle to get over is getting my master system up and running.
Genesis, SNES, NES, N64, and Atari all seem to be working using my PS3 Dual Shock Controller, over USB and also with bluetooth.
Even playing some SMS ROMS through the Megadrive Emulator seems to work fine.
I am running RetroPie 3.2.1 (fully updated, updated emulator binaries, setup script, etc.) on a RPi2.
Hopefully these snippets will help provide some insight as to what my issue is. i am sure it is something easy. Please help!

Topic: Two bt controllers one USB ?
I’ve got a pair of bt controllers of eBay. They came with one USB receiver.
I only get one to work. They both work but not at the same time.Is there a solution ?
So, after my trauma of Mame4All and my USB Soundbar I binned that approach and used a bog standard 3.5mm audio out instead (my cabinet is driving an old 4:3 monitor, no HDMI). Anyway, generally speaking the sound is OK but once in while it stops working – in the whole of Retropie, not just a single emulator. Reboot and its fine – which suggests its not the hardware.
Anyone seen this before?
Cheers
Mark
Hi there, I’ve built my lad an arcade machine for Christmas. Its a Pi 2 Model B with MAME and unfortunately a Xin-Mo USB Interface. I’ve managed to do a few of the tutorials to make the USB device recognise as 2 joypads and get the controls some what sorted out.
Basically I’ve used the start button to bring up the menu where you hold a button to configure your controls and it works to some extent.
When outside of a game P1 joystick Left/Right & Up/Down are inverted. But P2 is fine.
When inside a game P1 is inverted like above but P2 is fine.Could someone please explain the reason? Forgive me I’m new to Pi’s and Linux and so don’t know very much terminology or commands etc. So if you could, could you dumb any answers down for me? lol
I’ve heard of various configuration files that can be edited but I don’t know the difference. The EmulationStation/es_inputs.cfg, the retroarch/config.cfg and I’ve also had a message pop up saying opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads/Xin-MoXin-MoDualArcade.cfg…… which ones am I supposed to be editing for “Out Game” and “In Game”?. Once again sorry for my lack of knowledge lol. It’s very painful writing this haha
Any help would be amazing as I’m desperate to get it working soon so I can reassemble it ready for xmas.
Thank You In Advance, This forum has already been a godsend!
P.S Please See attached image for my setup. I have now got LED Strips in the top Part, with a glass panel with my sons name written on it in SEGA text. It’s certainly getting there I Just need this final niggle sorted lol
