Player 2 still not working!

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

@grant2258 it says no such file or directory

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

@saint_jimmy no problems mate it was an easy mistake ive done it myself sometimes you accidently go into mame and change the buttons by pressing the 8th button. #

Same here. Running Rasbian Jessie and having all packages up-to-date both Jessie and Retropie updated. I have the output of lsusb:
Bus 001 Device 018: ID 0079:0006 DragonRise Inc. Generic USB Joystick
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0424:ec00 Standard Microsystems Corp. SMSC9512/9514 Fast Ethernet Adapter
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0424:9514 Standard Microsystems Corp.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
and the output of ls /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/autoconfig

DragonRise Inc. Generic USB Joystick .cfg DragonRise Inc. Generic USB Joystick .cfg.bak2
DragonRise Inc. Generic USB Joystick .cfg.bak

I have tried to manual add _player2 to the button config so I have 2 .bak files in this dir:
/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch-joypads
-rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 605 Dec 7 15:00 DragonRise Inc. Generic USB Joystick .cfg
-rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 733 Dec 7 14:24 DragonRise Inc. Generic USB Joystick .cfg.bak
-rw-r--r-- 1 pi pi 605 Dec 7 14:19 DragonRise Inc. Generic USB Joystick .cfg.bak2

Here is the current .cfg:

input_device = "DragonRise Inc. Generic USB Joystick "
input_driver = "udev"
input_l_btn = "4"
input_load_state_btn = "4"
input_start_btn = "9"
input_exit_emulator_btn = "9"
input_up_axis = "-1"
input_a_btn = "2"
input_b_btn = "1"
input_reset_btn = "1"
input_enable_hotkey_btn = "8"
input_down_axis = "+1"
input_r_btn = "5"
input_save_state_btn = "5"
input_r2_btn = "7"
input_right_axis = "+0"
input_state_slot_increase_axis = "+0"
input_x_btn = "3"
input_menu_toggle_btn = "3"
input_select_btn = "8"
input_y_btn = "0"
input_left_axis = "-0"
input_state_slot_decrease_axis = "-0"
input_l2_btn = "6"

And I have no idea how to move forward now...
