Player 2 still not working!

[Saint_Jimmy]

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

[mitu]

@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.

[grant2258]

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

[grant2258]

ah ok if all is well in emulation station youll be fine its a mame issue

i think you might have accidently remapped some buttons seeing your menu is going on when your in mame from the other post did you delete the cfg files to reset mame to defaults ?

[grant2258]

make sure mame isint running

rm /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-libretro/mame2003/mame2003/cfg/*

this is assuming your roms are in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/mame-libretro/mame2003/

start mame again

[Saint_Jimmy]

@grant2258 it says no such file or directory

[Saint_Jimmy]

If it helps I am using my arcade folder.

[grant2258]

do you have ftp access the forum took the spaces away but do me a favor

type ls /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/arcade/mame2003/cfg

if there is files in there do a
rm /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/arcade/mame2003/cfg/*

if they arent there they must be in the mame 2003 with spaces
