      @ddoherty958 You could at least specify the model/make of the controller you're using. You're giving almost no information about your system and configuration for use to try and find the problem.

        Sorry. I am using an xinmotek dual controller sourced on arcade world uk. I have tried changing the cmd.txt file as specified in retropie docs. The controller is an arcade joystick and 4 buttons.

              I use 4 sticks and 8 buttons per stick, on Raspberry Pi 3B, player 1 and 3 are on 1 Xinmotec board and players 2 and 4 are on another. Edited the boot file with the relevant text as specified in the docs and it worked perfectly.

                @ddoherty958 Unless you start posting configs of what you have typed, its impossible to help you. Had you done this, you would probably be running by now.

                  @ddoherty958 Are you confident that it is even wired correctly and gives out the correct responses?

                    Player 2 works fine controlling the menu.

                    I did this:

                    Add the following to /boot/cmdline.txt -- just add a space to the end of the existing entry, so it is all on one line):

                    If you have a "Juyao Dual Arcade", it is the same device, but the vendor ID is 0314 and the product ID is 0328:

                    usbhid.quirks=0x0314:0x0328:0x040

                      @ddoherty958 So post the file from your pi so the community can check that you have typed correctly etc.etc. i.e correct vendor and product id etc. etc. How did you edit the file? Did you save on exit? etc..

                        @ddoherty958 Can you post the output of sudo lsusb (while the controller is plugged in) and the content of the /boot/cmdline.txt ?

                            @ddoherty958 The name of the file is cmdline.txt, not cmd.txt.

                              sorry. I just typed too fast. It is that one, cmdline

                                  @ddoherty958 Unfortunately the image is too small to see anything. Can you upload a better image ?

                                      Looks like you have copied the wrong IDs from the docs - your cmdline should look like

                                      dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=serial0,115200 console=tty1 root=PARTUUID=14a75fe9-02 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline fsck.repair=yes rootwait loglevel=3 consoleblank=0 plymouth.enable=0 sbhid.quirks=0x16c0:0x05e1:0x040
                                      

                                      Notice the Vendir and Device ID are different - you copied the ones for the Juyao Dual Arcade, not the Xin Mo that are referenced first.

                                          so when it came on the joysticks work but the buttons don't. I cam't configure them again because A doesn't work. The USB keyboard doesn't work either.
