For both flash drives I formatted in Windows and created a “retropie” folder. When I inserted the 2gb stick, RetroPie recognized it and populated the “retropie” folder. I don’t think I did anything else on the RPi to format or mount. When I performed the same process with 128gb stick, RetroPie never populated the “retropie” folder. I even left it plugged in overnight. I did confirm that the disk was being recognized by the RPi. .

I went through the method described in your link and it did work. The only issue is that Windows no longer recognizes the stick, so I have to transfer the ROMs over FTP instead of just plugging it into my PC with the stored ROMs. It’ll take a little longer but I guess I should have to do it once.

Thanks for the tip!

Just posting to give thanks to feederchain for this fix.

I was having issue with the RPi recognizing 22 buttons but only 2 axes, so both joysticks controlled the same player. This fixed that by splitting the controls so that RPi sees the Xin Mo as to separate joypads: #1 – 2 axes and 10 buttons, and #2 – 2 axes and 12 buttons.

Worked great. Thanks again.

Awesome thanks, I’ll give this a try this evening.

Now that I know those links are there, I can actually see a very subtle difference, but they are not easy to spot.

Thanks again!

Hi, thanks for the feedback.

You mentioned a kernel fix, can you point me in the direction of where I can find more information? In my research, I did come across an article that provided a kernel fix for a joystick problem where up and left directions weren’t working. This didn’t seem to be them same issue I am having. Is there another fix that I didn’t see?

Currently, if I use:

input_player1_joypad_index = 0
input_player2_joypad_index = 1

Then player 1 works fine, but player2 does not work at all.

If I use:

input_player1_joypad_index = 0
input_player2_joypad_index = 0

Then player 1 works fine, and player 2’s buttons work but not joystick.
