Conflicting joysticks?

bogdanripa

It won't let me set-up the 2nd controller... And the fact that in command line (jstest) I see both controllers as one means this is a drivers problem...

Either way - I fixed it by simply rewiring the joystick buttons to map "regular" buttons and then set it up like this.

I have a few missing buttons now but at least all works just fine...

@bogdanripa sounds like you have a solution. If you continue to have issues I would recommend getting a separate encoder for each joystick/controls. The easyget zero delay USB encoders seem to work well. They are recognized as individual dragonrise controls.

Hi @bogdanripa!

I have the same USB controller and finally got it recognized as 2 controllers in Emulationstation:

The solution: You must set a "quirk" for the usbhid module

Follow the instructions here:
Be aware that the vendor / product ID might differ. (Check via lsusb, the USB name for the double usb CY-2121 controller is "Personal Communications Systems, Inc")
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Xin-Mo-Controller

I'm using RetroPi via Ubuntu 16.04, so here's how I managed this for Ubuntu:

Search for the vendor ID / Product ID via lsusb
create a file named "usbhid.config" under /etc/modprobe.d/"
Add the following line to the file: "options usbhid quirks=0x0810:0xe001:0x00000040"
- 0810 is the VendorID
- e001 is the product ID
Save the file
run "sudo update-initramfs - u - k $(uname -r)"
Restart your PC
check via "cat /sys/mmodules/usbhid/parameters/quirks", if the quirk has been applied successfully
Take al look into "/dev/input": There should be a js0 and a js1 now

@absolut1978 tks.! has worked on arch

sudo rmmod usbhid && sudo modprobe usbhid quirks=0x0810:0xe301:0x00000040

I was just detecting a 20 button joypad xD, If you pressed joypad1 up, player 2 also moved, and it is fixed.

My joypad is this

@absolut1978 hi! I'm new and I'm a noob, sorry BTW haha, but what should I do if I try to update and it says that /boot/initrd.img-4.4.38-v7+ does not exist. Cannot update. I'm on a raspberry pi model 3B. Thanks!

hi I'm Italian I'm using a translator, I built a bartop all ok I have the same problem with that twin game usb encoder on the back surface and RB3b +

I searched for id product vendor and it is the same one already found by other users I created the file.config, but I have the doubt that the extension should be. conf because all the files in the /etc/modprobe.d/ folder are. conf then I ask you confirmation if the file must be. conf o config.
I follow the guide and then execute the command sudo update-initramfs - u - k $ (uname -r) but it gives me invalid argument -
I ask you if you can follow me step by step I don't want to solve it, it's like seeing only one joystick equal for all 2 levers

@archfranck

i have this encoder.
if I do not solve I was thinking of buying another one and so I connect it with another usb and solve it and so it sees them as 2 different usb ... I'm going crazy not risdo to play with 2 players ..

@archfranck you should have opened a new topic, instead of re-opening a 2 years topic.
Follow the instructions on https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Xin-Mo-Controller and report back if you have any problems.
