Reply To: Configuring 2-player controls from a single custom USB controller

Thanks again. I have now got this working! huettmaster, you shouldn’t need to change the specific Xin-Mo cfg file at all. That’s the mistake I was making.

The thing I was missing is that the cfg file that needs editing (/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg) has dummy configurations setup for up to 8 players, but they are much further down the file. I had just seen the keyboard config stuff at the top and assumed that was it. After checking a lot of other stuff I eventually scrolled all the way through the cfg and found what I was looking for. Feel a bit silly now. I ended up directly entering the key values for players one and two after jotting down the inputs. The joypad index for both was 0.

Appreciate the help trimmtrabb. I at least feel like I understand the pi and retropie a little better now!
