Yeah, I skipped a big step. I forgot to configure the controller at the main screen. I had done my keyboard and tried configuring the joystick using the Retropie menu.

Thanks for taking a look.

Simply put your card with your existing installation in to a USB card reader and get the correct drive letter from Windows Explorer. Make sure the correct drive letter is selected in WinDisk32. Give the image a name like RetroPie_Backup_4-2-2015.img. Click read.

After waiting what can seem like an eternity, you will have your backup image.

To put your backup image on a card, the process is the same as writing the initial RetroPie image. Put your clean card in the card reader. Make sure you select the correct drive letter. Select your RetroPie_Backup_4-2-2015.img. Click write.

Wait another eternity and you should have a copy of your original installation.

Do not try to set up a player 1 and player 2 using the index method in some posts here, that is when my controls quit working.

Edit the configuration file below for only 1 player. It seems player 2 gets duplicated to the exact button layout. Make sure your button wiring for both controllers are mirrored copies of each other.

input_device = "THT THT Arcade console 2P USB Player"
input_driver = "udev"

#Player 1&2P

input_b_btn = "1"
input_y_btn = "0"
input_select_btn = "8"
input_start_btn = "9"
input_up_axis = "-1"
input_down_axis = "+1"
input_left_axis = "-0"
input_right_axis = "+0"
input_a_btn = "3"
input_x_btn = "2"
input_l_btn = "4"
input_r_btn = "5"

input_enable_hotkey_btn = "9"
input_exit_emulator_btn = "8"

Put the edited file in /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/configs named THTTHTArcadeconsole2PUSBPlayer.cfg, for some reason the Xin MO gets named that.

Hope this helps.

Long time lurker here. So I was about finished putting together my cabinet using 2.6 when the 3.0 beta rolls out. My splash was working fine on 2.6.

With a clean install of 3.0 I get a startpar error at boot on asplashscreen. I have set permissions of asplashscreen to both 755 & 777, made executable, copied and pasted the above code, and hand typed it as well.

I google and tried a few things, but no luck.

Does anyone know if these instructions work with 3.0?

***Edit: Fixed. Started over fresh. Not sure what the problem was, but it worked. Profit! ***
