same controller, same config - but not the same at all

[derDotzi1982]

Hi,

first of all: Thank's in forward for (trying) helping me with this:

I buid two (identical) arcade controller. I plug them in and call the "config cotroller"-menu. The system recoconized the two controller, I configure the first and second one identical. But if I start a game, the configuration of one of them is flipped - the button "A" is on the Button "Y"-position.

First i thought it was my fault, so I reconfigurate the (switched) controller, but then the other controller is flipped. So I checked the "\configs\all\emulationstation\es_input.cfg" and that's the content (see below).

Mayby the wirring (button - controller) is not identical. But how can i generate a second "inputConfig"-controller-entry?

I hope you understand my problem.

@derdotzi1982 said in same controller, same config - but not the same at all:

You can't, the configuration is based on the name of the controller. Since both controllers are using the same name it's a single configuration for both - in EmulationStation or emulators. Fix the wiring, so it's identical, and everything will be ok.
