Reply To: X-Arcade not recognized or configurable by latest retropie

Thanks for sticking with me on this.

I deleted my es_input.cfg and started fresh. Interestingly, I made sure my usb keyboard was unattached when I bounced the pi.

When ES started, it recognized the xarcade a s dual joystick gamepad. Previously it had only recognized it as a single joystick gamepad. I configured both joysticks this time, but I had to do it by pressing tab from within ES itself at the splash screen for MAME. I configured both, and they are working, but with a couple of minor glitches.

I dont have a button configured to add credits. I have to reattach the keyboard and press 5. I can select a game and lauch the game. From the game’s opening screen, I can press the left side button and the 1 player button to get the in-game menu to reconfig retroarch. However, I cant seem to remap the Coin 1 option to the side button.

Also, pressing the 1 player button or 2 player button does nothing. They are mapped to the 1 and 2 keys, respectively, above the keyboard (not the numpad), and they *will* work on the keyboard. But I want those remapped to the xarcade Player 1 and Player 2 buttons as well.

I tried a couple of SNES games, and those seem to work without issue. I am so close to having this fixed just as I like it, that I can taste it. I am anxious to switch fully to the retropie and away from my revamped original xbox.

I’ll let you know if I uncover any new info. For the record, here is my es_input.cfg:

<?xml version=”1.0″?>
<inputList>
<inputConfig type=”joystick” deviceName=”Xarcade-to-Gamepad Device” dev$
<input name=”a” type=”button” id=”4″ value=”1″ />
<input name=”b” type=”button” id=”3″ value=”1″ />
<input name=”down” type=”axis” id=”1″ value=”1″ />
<input name=”left” type=”axis” id=”0″ value=”-1″ />
<input name=”leftbottom” type=”button” id=”2″ value=”1″ />
<input name=”right” type=”axis” id=”0″ value=”1″ />
<input name=”rightbottom” type=”button” id=”5″ value=”1″ />
<input name=”select” type=”button” id=”6″ value=”1″ />
<input name=”start” type=”button” id=”7″ value=”1″ />
<input name=”up” type=”axis” id=”1″ value=”-1″ />
<input name=”x” type=”button” id=”1″ value=”1″ />
<input name=”y” type=”button” id=”0″ value=”1″ />
</inputConfig>
</inputList>

Best regards,
