      But when I launch a game, the games crash right away, like it's a bad ROM.

      For more information from the emulator, start the game in question with verbose logging via the Runcommand menu and look into the logfile /dev/shm/runcommand.log.

          I'm having a similar problem, but it somehow leaks over into the main usb indexing.
          I have 2 zero delay encoders for player 1 and 2. Based on this article with the usb port order:
          https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/10099/usb-port-order-when-using-usb-hub
          I have
          Player 1 in port 0
          Player 2 in port 1
          Unplugged port 2
          usb drive with rom files port 3

          This always 100% works and keeps them in the correct order.

          But if I plug a 4 port usb hub into port 2, and plug 2 gamepads into the hub, I would expect that the hub ports would become ports 2, 3, 4, and 5 and then the original port 3 now becomes port 6
          or maybe port 2 becomes port 2, 4, 5, 6 and port 3 stays the same.

          But! I'm occasionally seeing the gamepads take over for Player 1 or Player 2 sometimes.... which is absolutely bonkers because the hardwired physical port location should not be line jumped by a hub on a lower ranked port. So I was trying to figure out if there is a way around this. I am thinking that perhaps the gamepad initializes faster than the ZD encoders and that is why it sometimes takes over priority position.. so maybe some way of delaying the initialization of the ports 2 and 3 until after 0 and 1 are properly initialized?

              The ROM is good. It was working before I started messing with xboxdrv and worked again after disabling xboxdrv.

                I've debated about getting rid of the individual encoders and going with something like an ipac-4, then I wouldn't need the hub. What's another $65? I could save the individual encoders for a bartop. It'd be nice to get this working though.

                  @elarson Since all of them have the same Vendor/Product ID AND Name, there is no way to distinguish between them. RetroArch auto-configuration doesn't support other means of assigning a configuration other than these 2 filters.

                  One way of doing that is by:

                  • identifying the USB port they're connected
                  • start xboxdrv to rename the controller based on the port you're using (like you've already discovered) and use --detach-kernel-driver to mask the original controller (so you don't have duplicates).

                  The trick is finding out which /dev/input/js* is Port X and run xboxdrv for the Port X configuration with the appropriate name, so the joysticks detection order done by the OS doesn't affect the mapping. You can see in the 2nd output you posted the Phys line which should get the port # (well some sort of numbering), that would be persistent.

                    So in my testing this afternoon, I've broken xboxdrv and the joysticks no longer register as "Joystick Red" etc. when configuring them in Retroarch.

                    Hopefully xboxdrv wasn't the route route to take. Not sure what I did to get it using xboxdrv last night. I guess that's the problem with staying up till 1 AM trying things.

                    I've commented out the xboxdrv commands to register the joysticks and removed the xboxdrv driver for now.

                      I was using the devpath to create symlinks for the encoders, which I think was being consistent, but I haven't tested enough to be positive, but I think it is.

                      KERNEL=="js[0-9]*", SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0079", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0006", ATTRS{devpath}=="1.1.3.3", SYMLINK+="input/js_blue"

                      for xboxdrv, I was finding the device by its path

                        so figured out why xboxdrv wasn't working today. it was a copy-and-paste error.

                        Got it working with one controller and it loads the game. Going to try two now.

                          So xboxdrv seems to be working, but my ROM crashes when I have all four joysticks configured. If I have three of them configured through xboxdrv, it works. But if I add a fourth, the ROM crashes.

                          You can see the output of my previous runcommand.sh up above.

                            Can you try by disconnecting the keyboard and the mouse and leaving only the joysticks connected ? I've seen a similar report sometime ago when RA crashes with lots of gamepads connected, I wonder what's the magic number before it crashes.

                              Unhooking the keyboard and extra gamepad keeps it from crashing.

                              But not all the joysticks are working in the game. In the lower left, while the ROM starts up, it shows it's initializing the controllers.

                              It may have done a fourth DragonRise, maybe I missed two that were back-to-back.

                              Only players two and four worked, which were Blue and Green respectively. I suspect it used DragonRise devices for players one and three. These are consistent though. It always seems to be players two and four, but it did it with Red and Green on a different boot.

                              When I configure devices through Retroarch, it shows my xboxdrv names I gave them. I thought the --detach-kernel-driver might help it from registering the DragonRise controllers, but they still register. It'd be nice if I could get rid of these somehow.

                                I had the same impression, but it looks like it's not hiding them. What happens if you remove the .cfg file for the DragonRise controllers , so that only the named controllers are auto-configured ?

                                  It still registered them during initialization of the ROM. Players two and four were still controllable, but this time by yellow and green.

                                    Well, since all your controller get detected (and configured, it seems), you can re-order them using @meleu's joystick reordering tool - https://github.com/meleu/RetroPie-joystick-selection. It can re-order them by name, so you can push back the DragonRise controllers and have your named controller be P1-P4.

                                    But it's getting a bit complicated and I'm not sure if plugging in more controllers wouldn't complicate things further.

                                      Thanks, I had forgotten about that tool. I hadn't used it since I got xboxdrv to rename the inputs.

                                      That works. The only problem I have now is that player 1 (red), when I hit the start button it, it exits the game. Verbose logging has the following once I hit that button, nothing too exciting. Outside the game (I've tried multiple games, all do the same), hitting the red start button brings up the main menu, just like the other players. I've tried reconfiguring red.

                                        That seems like a you've not set the hotkey for that controller and start maps to the exit hotkey. Post the .cfg auto-configuration file for that controller.

                                          That's what I was thinking too. I compared it to my blue joystick, which works fine, and they're identical (other than input_device name). I wired each of the controller sets up to the encoders the same way, skipping spots if they didn't have a particular button. But blue and red have the same buttons.

                                          If I take out input_exit_emulator_btn, then it doesn't exit the emulator when I press red's start. But it also doesn't exit when I press both Select + Start. If I take it out of red's, but leave it in the others, it was exiting the emulator when I pressed Start on another controller (only tried one, not all of them)
                                          input_exit_emulator_btn = "7"

                                          input_device = "Joystick Red"
input_driver = "udev"
input_l_btn = "5"

input_start_btn = "7"
input_exit_emulator_btn = "7"

input_select_btn = "6"
input_left_axis = "-0"
input_state_slot_decrease_axis = "-0"
input_up_axis = "-1"
input_a_btn = "0"
input_b_btn = "1"
input_reset_btn = "1"
input_enable_hotkey_btn = "6"
input_x_btn = "2"
input_menu_toggle_btn = "2"
input_y_btn = "3"

                                            I may be able to live with it. I over did it with the buttons and can wire a dedicated exit button. I can wire the exit button to player one and modify the config files to not have an exit button.

                                            If you have any other suggestions, I'd be open. But otherwise, thank you for all your help with this!
