one last comment from me….

with this in retroarch.cfg …. which is my quit game button now… i dont understand it

input_player1_r_btn = “3”
input_player1_save_state_btn = “3”
input_player1_start_btn = “7”
input_player1_exit_emulator_btn = “7”
input_player1_l_btn = “4”
input_player1_load_state_btn = “4”
input_player1_up_axis = “+1”
input_player1_a_btn = “0”
input_player1_b_btn = “1”
input_player1_reset_btn = “1”
input_player1_down_axis = “+0”
input_player1_right_axis = “-1”
input_player1_state_slot_increase_axis = “+1”
input_player1_x_btn = “2”
input_player1_menu_toggle_btn = “2”
input_player1_select_btn = “6”
input_player1_enable_hotkey_btn = “6”

input_player1_left_axis = “-0”
input_player1_state_slot_decrease_axis = “-0”

also just to add that before i had 0-5 for p2 and 1-5 for p1
since adding that line of code i had one the joysticks working but one controllers buttons wernt working.

it was because now they they are both recognised as two controllers…. p1 is 0-6 and p2 is 0-6

[dalehitchy]

one thing that is a bit weird is that the controller you showed me looks fine…

but the top left button thats jumping for player1, on player 2.. the top left its doing something different… confused as to why

[dalehitchy]

finally got it working…. its a big thread that… but the bit you are looking for steve is:

in command line, type – cd boot
sudo nano cmdline.txt

add this line of text
usbhid.quirks=0x16c0:0x05e1:0x040

make sure you save.

reboot. It should now recognise the xin-mo as two controls.

then in the retroarch.cfg file i added what floob told me to as above.

[dalehitchy]

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.

:)

[dalehitchy]

sure, its here

[dalehitchy]

oops i just created a similar thread… having the same issue….

ive set it up in retroarch but unsure of how to set up the second. I do get yellow text coming at the bottom when i star i game.

Ive used filezilla to connect to my pi and in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads is a file called Xin-MoXin-MoDualArcade.cfg

in it reads
input_device = “Xin-Mo Xin-Mo Dual Arcade”
input_driver = “udev”
input_r_btn = “13”
input_save_state_btn = “13”
input_start_btn = “17”
input_exit_emulator_btn = “17”
input_l_btn = “14”
input_load_state_btn = “14”
input_up_axis = “-1”
input_a_btn = “10”
input_b_btn = “11”
input_reset_btn = “11”
input_down_axis = “+0”
input_right_axis = “+1”
input_state_slot_increase_axis = “+1”
input_x_btn = “12”
input_menu_toggle_btn = “12”
input_select_btn = “16”
input_enable_hotkey_btn = “16”
input_y_btn = “15”
input_left_axis = “-0”
input_state_slot_decrease_axis = “-0”

how do i set up the second controllers?

[dalehitchy]

ah ok i didnt know it would needed to be timed exactly. thanks for all your help

[dalehitchy]

I removed this line and it cut my video short.

[dalehitchy]

One more thing…. the video runs full length (i re-enabled the emulationstation autostart) but after the video it goes to the bios code then to the emulation station splash screen.

Ive seen other videos where after the video it goes straight to the emulation splash screen. Ive edited my video so it blends nicely with that splash screen. how do i set this up?

[dalehitchy]

ok i just changed the file type (it was on .mov) to an mp4 and it worked

could have also been the file size as it was 80mb as an mov file… 10mb when i reencoded it to mp4

[dalehitchy]

hmmmm sorry its still not working for me….

it just goes straight to emulationstation screen. after selecting my video file i went to ‘update retro-pie startup script’ … rebooted and nothing

[dalehitchy]

hi buzz

the picture worked but the video did not…

The Video Folder showed up (i labelled it videotest) and when i clicked on ‘manually edit the splashscreen list’ it showed /splashscreens/videotest/videotest.mov

…but the file did not play. Is there any extra steps i have missed, anything else i need to install… or any particular format the video should be?

[dalehitchy]

ok… i was using the kodi / retropie boot and some of the scripts must have changed as it would not work.

i reinstalled using just the retropie image… expanded the file system and managed to change the splashscreen to an image.

does anyone know how to change it to a video though?
