    RPi 2 B
    Latest EmulationStation/RetroPie distro

    The controller is seen as a HID device as expected, and I can map one controller with no issues.
    However, after enabling the xarcade2jstick service the gamepads are not being created. When I look in /dev/input there are no JS* devices, if I unplug and replug the USB cable for the xarcade, the JS* devices show up.
    This never works on reboot, I tried building the service and was able to get it working after install and until the next reboot once.
    Any ideas? I am launching emulationstation manually to rule out any timing issue, the daemon shows as running on reboot too.

    What PSU do you have on your RPI ?

    Have you tried using the stick in keyboard mode without xarcade2jstick ?

    eg

    you can use the default layout though and adjust the retroarch.cfg accordingly for player2/player2

    Hi,
    It is a 2amp PSU.
    I got it working with the keyboard mapping only, the only thing I had to do is instead of :
    input_player1_left = keypad4
    input_player1_right = keypad6
    input_player1_up = keypad8
    input_player1_down = keypad2

    I used the defaults
    input_player1_left = Left
    input_player1_right = Right
    input_player1_up = Up
    input_player1_down = Down

    Or else the P1 joystick wouldn’t work within the emulators.

    Thanks!

    Damian
