Player 2 still not working!

Saint_Jimmy

I am using a raspberry pi 2 B and having problems setting up a second player on retroarch(even after watching videos and reading the forums) I've binded the keys ( and have save config on exit on) but only down and right on the joystick works (no buttons) and it works just fine on the ES menu. PLEASE HELP ME!

ing up

you need to set the controller up in emulationstaion press the start button on te controller that works to open the menu and pick configure input then press a button on the second controller to set it up

Saint_Jimmy

This is has already been done on my raspberry pi with no results I have done exactly what is shown on this video and still having trouble.

grant2258

are you using identical controller or two different ones ?

Saint_Jimmy

yes, I am using 2 DragonRise generic joysticks.

grant2258

can you provide the output from lsusb from te command line

and the output of

ls /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/autoconfig

Saint_Jimmy

@grant2258 I'm kinda new to all this do you think you could tell me how please?

@saint_jimmy If you have a PC, just use SSH to access the PI, then type the command

ls /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/autoconfig

and paste here the output. If your Pi is not networked or you don't have a PC, then exit Emulationstation and type the command at the command prompt that will be shown after you quit ES.

if you can connect a keyboard to the pi press f4 it will get you to cmd prompt

type lsusb

do this

sudo pico /boot/cmdline.txt

add this to the end (make sure you make a space from the last letter)

usbhid.quirks=0x0079:0x0006:0x40

press ctrl+x to save and exit

you will need to reboot as well

sudo shutdown -r now

To be honest just search up meleu's RetroPie-joystick-selection https://github.com/meleu/RetroPie-joystick-selection/blob/master/README.md
It is really straightforward and easy to use.

i have the same zero day controller that parameter needs to go to the kernel to stop strange things happening when using two of them no more setup is really needed beyond that,

SammyBoy

I had the exact same problem using two controllers but then I downloaded meleu's program and now my controllers work no problem

grant2258

can try it wont do any harm :)

Saint_Jimmy

May I have the link please? sammy boy

and grant, Player two can still only move down and left and (btw I added the script even though it was already there so now I have it twice on the end)

grant2258

in mame or in emulationstation?

Saint_Jimmy

mame
