[quote=17939]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!

you rock! i signed up to the forums just to say that! question tho, say i have 4 players with a mix n match set of controllers. how the heck would i set that up? like if i have an xbox controller, a ps3 controller, and a n64 controller. all usb. i bet each control would have a different value so if player 1 has A button value 3, and player 2 has A value of 2, and so on… do i have to mark each control physically to know which is mapped to what? or how do i use the device name to assign to look up its map universally in a cfg file?
