basic 2 player support not working correctly

[mitu]

@puppetj Does it work in any NES game ? You may have saved a configuration just for the NES system and that changed the input handling.

[puppetj]

@mitu no i didnt touch the nes cfg, it seems to hand a mind of its own, i had the same thing happen with snes 3 ninjas kick back no working hot key

[mitu]

Then maybe the configuration is global (for RetroArch). Can you post the following files' contents on pastebin.com and link it:

• \\retropie\configs\all\retroarch.cfg
• \\retropie\configs\nes\retroarch.cfg

[puppetj]

@mitu here is the ALL CFG

https://pastebin.com/VxuUPJ0Z

and heres is the NES CFG

https://pastebin.com/WF4ZRgzS

[mitu]

@puppetj The conf files are ok - I don't see any remapping or controller index switching.

[puppetj]

@mitu

what could be the problem then?

[dankcushions]

@puppetj let’s see the controller configuration file as mentioned before

[puppetj]

@dankcushions i dont understand

[Clyde]

He means mitu's post above:

@puppetj In this case, check the controller configuration file - it should be in \\retropie\configs\all\retroarch-joypads, named probably Logitech Logitech Cordless RumblePad 2.cfg. Does it have a hotkey defined ? You can post its contents here in the topic.

@clyde i dont know if this is a hint of the issue, but as the other person said, about the usb ports having order and controller 1 needs to be in usb port 0 and controller 2 needs to be in usb port 1, i had controller 1 in usb port 0 and controller 2 in usb 2 and they worked fine.

So are they working fine? Have you tried to reconfigure the controllers?

[dankcushions]

@puppetj one of these has bindings for hotkeys, etc, and one doesn’t. so i would presume that when one of your controllers is plugged in to p1 it works, and when the other works, it doesn’t? in that case you can reset the controllers and rebind via retropie-setup :

Choose Manage Packages.
Choose Manage Core Packages.
Choose emulationstation (Installed)
Choose Configurations / Options (it may also be named Configurations Tools)
Choose the option to Clear/Reset Emulation Station input configuration.
Choose Yes to proceed to clear the controller settings.

@lostless somes they work, sometimes they dont

[lostless]

@puppetj Are they both wireless?

[puppetj]

@lostless no only one

[puppetj]

@dankcushions
